Lovely colour.....

Have you tried tweaking the exposure compensation mode on your camera? Set it down a couple of points and see what happens.

cheers deida and janette ;o))

I've always had trouble getting pics of red lobelias, Sandra. This is great, and thriving! :-))

I had noticed, Meanie, lol! You can keep them coming, though, so far as I'm concerned. :-))

thanx david, its its second year and i moved it to raised border and seems to be happy there, its a richer red off pic, i love it ;o))

It's a beauty San , I love it :o))

thanx amy ;o)))

hi meanie sorry missed your comments, thanx i will try this, going to check out your pics now lol

Looks lovely.

cheers carol ;o)

Love the colour Sandra :-)))))))))

cheers les. ;o))

Beautiful.

thankyou Tog ;o)) just staked it as we have gales tonight and its getting quite bad out there ;o(

I remember, Sandra, my first ever comment on here was a question asking where to find lobelia cardinalis "Ruby Slippers" (for our wiz of Oz garden theme then). We were so exdcited to get it, and, finally, see the flowers, which are like most red lobelias, of course. They do look a bit like pairs of dangling, re shoes, in a way. Anyhow, the pics we got are all more garish than the true colour, I agree. So glad yours is thriving in its present position! :-)))

funny how seeing something reminds you of a time in your life, all memories stored in our data base so to speak, and a wonderfull flower to have in memory david, im loving looking at this each day, its so bright and cheerfull, thanx ;o)))

I had one last year but one that goes in the pond and it reached 6 foot 3

wow thats big Dandan, i saw some in pond place and look exactly the same , wonder if they are and the water makes they grow taller,

now that b ininteresting sandra. need to find out . got a few dotted bt. may try it x

L.Queen Victoria will grow really well at the edge of water - they love to have their feet wet!
Mine are in a section of raised bed that is lined with plastic (with drainage holes) to keep them happy!

oo ok , will try then thanks meanie

i may try it in pond to next year when i split this, like you meanie mine in raised border lined with plastic and seems to be good for all my plants, al;ways do well there ;o)

A nice plant to compliment them in the raised border is Mimulus Cardinalis.

will look that up meanie, iv had minulas, not sure which, but this year and were nice to ;o)

I have put it in the garden section of my homepage Sanbaz - it likes it damp too, and blooms earlier.

thanx meanie, mine were the normal yellow i had this year, nice though, going to look now

Oh wow - glad we have one now - they are superb

this was last year paul and gets better each year :o)
