Thanks girls :-)
Simbad, yes, this is the one that has the honey coloured and honey scented flowers .... they 'drip' this sticky 'honey' when the sun's on them .... the bees and butterflies seem to like it !!!
Dd, they respond 'so' well to pruning - they bush-up so quickly !

This is a lovely plant...and that's me who doesn't like euphorbias. The honey thing makes it even more appealing...going to faves!

I must go and have a look, to be honest I've been busy lately, and not had a good look round, I'll let you know

I watched Gardeners World last night and Carol had one in her garden, it looked a dead wreck but ... there were several new shoots and stems coming up from the middle - mine looked nothing like hers, thank goodness, i'd have been distraught !!!!

yes I saw that, so there's hope for me yet, although mine isn't anywhere near as established LOL

On the list it goes!

Lol, how long is that list Wagger .... does it ever shorten ? !

16 May, 2010

 

LOL. Yes it does - I found a Corydalis cava a couple of weeks ago - that's one off! (and I bought six little heucheras and heucherellas but he doesn't know about those yet, shhhhhhhhhh).

This euphorbia is filling that whole area of garden with the smell of honey now !
The warmth's making it drift about :-))))))))
