Thanks, Dd. I'm not starting on buying Irises, but if my friend happens to split hers.....;-)

She also has a large flower. :-) I think the 'posh' French ones all do, as far as I could see in the catalogue.

When we go to France this year I must look for some......

What fabulous, subtle colours . . . lovely to have a generous, gardener friend!

She is - when I was doing the makeover in the back garden, she dug me up a clump of dark maroon irises, and some Campanula. I give her pieces of plants when I can, too.

Lovely. It's so handy to have quite a few "spares" at this time of year: kind folk who cared for my plants while I lounged in Greece, were rewarded with Cleome and Mirabilis seedlings.

thats stuning

Thanks, Cristina. Sheila - all my 'spares' will be on the plant stall! I try to raise as much as I can for the NGS. :-)

Just looking for a B&B, Barbara . . . and will see you in June with my purse at the ready. :))

:-))) Do you need any help/suggestions?
22 May, 2011
Well . . . if it's no trouble . . . that would be great, thanks B.
22 May, 2011
OK. I'll pm you later today. :-)

Bless you. x (I did find a good one in Sawday's B&B for Garden Lovers, but it was booked - everyone's found out about your garden!)
