thanks,Michaella,I love it too.It is amazing,Karen,as I tried planting things in it,and no luck at all.Only just room for wind blown seeds,apparently.I love blue flowers,as well,aren't you glad that purple ones show up this colour??:o))
Thanks Cinderella,,helps to break the high wall up nicely.
Mrv...There used to be old garages and all manner of rubbish ,years ago,till it was cleared and built on,although the wall seems to have been there forever. .It was only a wall to me at first,and completely devoid of anything living.,and as I started to plant things,I realised how lovely it was.Funny how you can look at something everyday,and then the beauty of it suddenly kicks in..I can't imagine someone building one like it now,unless it was a conservation area.,although all the houses in our area are stone.....except the new ones..and ours ! ...they are all lookalike"stone".

Wow Sandra it looks fantasic, is it all the same Campanula as the one in the ground looks taller?

Looks great, i think it's the same one that grows like a weed here, and if you plant it near a wall or anything, it will sort of climb up a couple or so feet, it does look very blue here lol :-)

Thanks,Jane 21,glad you like it.
Carole,..go to the top of the class Lol.You are right,the lower one is a different one,but grows tall,or spreads out more.This is also in the wall too,but seeded low down. All of these are from my plants.I actually stake the one in the border,or it would spread out too much,but it can have its own way in the wall.:o)
It does look very blue,Ba,but I think its happy really...Lol.All my purple ones look blue.!! Wonder what my Lavender Hidcote will look like ? will try it soon.

lovely, can this thing grip the wall and creep n climb?

Thanks,Stevie,It appears so,but it is actually spreading out more each year,than actually climbing.The height is usually the same, and when I pull the dead flowers off,it looks quite small.It is evergreen,so always some foliage on the wall.The bottom one in the pic,is a taller variety,but the same habit as the other ones.
