It's a deep maroon - the camera hasn't caught the colour well.

You too Spritz

Thanks. I bought a red Camellia 'Adolphe Audusson' to mark our Ruby wedding. I made a stupid mistake - the pot curves in at the top, so I might have to break it to repot the plant. :-(((((

Its quite fashionable at the moment to have broken pots laid on their sides and planted up with say a house leek. That way you will save both?

12 Jul, 2010

 

I don't particularly like that fashion, Denise - do you? It just looks like an accident to me. LOL. Anyway, it would have to be 'several' house leeks! ;-)

12 Jul, 2010

 

Yes I agree its a bit OTT

12 Jul, 2010

 

I haven't got room, anyway - Hmmmm....I could put it in the middle of the path - then it really 'would' look like an accident! LOL.

That is a lovely Astrantia, I sent for 2 this year from MT what a disappointment both were so tiny they have now disappeared altogether. Just like to say Harry and I are ahead of you all we had our Golden Wedding last November;0)

Congratulations! Did you plant anything to mark the day?

Glad you like my Astrantia....:-))

Astrantia is even darker than my new 'claret' love it!

12 Jul, 2010

 

OH must be ahead of his time then, he has been planting things in broken pots for over 20 years, we used to get a lot broken by frost in the Midlands, and it was such a shame to throw them away.......I must tell him it is fashionable, he will laugh!!!

12 Jul, 2010

 

Ask him if the middle of the path is a good place, Dd! LOL.

13 Jul, 2010

 

I love this Astrantia....By the way on th 26th July we will be celebrating our silver wedding...Any suggestions what i could plant to celebrate please?>..:>)

13 Jul, 2010
