beautiful colour!

I knew what it was once but I lost the label. I've lost my own label! Who am I?

3 Nov, 2009

 

Glad it's not just me !!! lol

GoY has just directed me to a photo posted by Gilli in Nov last year. They look very much alike but perhaps Gilli's appears just a little tighter.

3 Nov, 2009

 

lovely flowers :o)

Should really have said this earlier Ponty ... but .... do men suffer menopausal symptoms as well as women ? Memory Wise >> LMAO !
Sorry .... but have directed certain parties to hear your reply !! Tee hee hee !! x

3 Nov, 2009

 

Lol, Sue! I'm SURE they do!! If not worse! ;~))

I would say that mine are just a little tighter Ponty. But otherwise, the colour is probably the exact match. Mine are possibly older than yours? Maybe yours will get fuller as the plant matures. I have no idea what mine are called either. I rescued the original plant from a construction site where a new house was being built. It was just about to be run over by a bulldozer!! That would have been in about 2003. Now I have 4 large clumps and have just given another piece away. If yours is the same as mine, it is extremely vigorous. I love this colour too.

Get down Sue! You can't make a Welshman blush as easily as that! I simply suffer the occasional age-related aberration - so there!

3 Nov, 2009

 

Well saved, Gilli. They are both a super shade of red.

3 Nov, 2009

4 Nov, 2009

 

ooh, you wicked lot of Ladies, I think Ponty must have retired to his potting shed..................LOL.

4 Nov, 2009

 

Unbelievable! I close down last night to go to Rotary Club and you lot start casting nasturtiums at my staying power.

4 Nov, 2009

 

Surely not nasturtiums Ponty. can't stand the things they go soggy and horrible when it's too wet :~))

4 Nov, 2009

 

Are we back to the Tena again Pip ????? lol ;-)))

4 Nov, 2009

 

No Sue just saying why I don't like Nasturtiums :~))

4 Nov, 2009

 

LOL ! I used to have some in the front garden and it took me years to get rid of them with all of the seeds that they shed !

4 Nov, 2009

 

Sorry if I confused you. Casting nasturtiums is just my unconventional way of saying casting aspersions - I just thought it was appropriate on a gardening theme (What was left of it!) :-))

4 Nov, 2009

 

LMHO :~)))
No confusion here !!!

4 Nov, 2009

 

Nor here Ponty !! lol You know us females are inclined to go off at tangents !!! ;-))

4 Nov, 2009

 

Tangents? In circles or round the bend more like!

4 Nov, 2009

 

I went round the bend years ago !!! lol ;-)))

4 Nov, 2009

 

Its all right, Ponty! I say 'casting nasturtiums' as well! And I like them! Mine are still blooming, despite the monsoon!
As for round the bend, Sue, it's great here, innit?? Lol!

4 Nov, 2009

 

It most certainly is Marie ! Wouldn't want to live anywhere else !!! lol ;-))

4 Nov, 2009

 

Me neither, honey!

4 Nov, 2009

 

Back from massaging.
Good to see YEW 2 R.BEAN nice to Ponty. (thought I take us back round the bend to gardening) LoL :~))

5 Nov, 2009

 

Love it Pip !! lol Can't promise we'll stay there though ..... the bend has many meanders !!! lol

5 Nov, 2009

 

I think mine has turned into a corkscrew!!!

6 Nov, 2009

 

I dunno Marie .... back to the booze !!!!! LOL ;-))))

6 Nov, 2009

 

LOL! That'll be the hangover from last night! Ouch! Had to go for a sleep!

6 Nov, 2009

 

The old 3 day/3 day thing again ?? Lol ;-))

6 Nov, 2009

 

Unfortunately it's more 1 evening/3 days!!
I slept all the way to Dundee this morning! Mind you, I'm amazed I got up & out the house in time!

6 Nov, 2009

 

I think I remember such things !! These days I don't have to get up !! LOL

6 Nov, 2009

 

:~)D~~~~~
I got up at 6.30! My 'lift' was still in Dundee so I had to bus it in!! :~(

6 Nov, 2009

 

At least it gave you a chance for a kip on the bus ! lol

6 Nov, 2009

 

True, I slept in the lecture hall too! :~}

6 Nov, 2009

 

Ooooo eeeerrr !!

6 Nov, 2009

 

Apparently I didnt miss anything!! Lol!
I woke up for the break & mainlined some coffee! Then we actually had something to do, so that kept me motivated! :~))

6 Nov, 2009

 

You're a better girl than I, Gunga Din !! lol

6 Nov, 2009

 

Hee hee! GF just asked my why everybody keeps calling him Lol!!
I'm still laughing!!

6 Nov, 2009
