I am really pleased with it and in the evening it gets shafts of late sun. quite a few eeds though ! oops

It's beautiful. Don't worry about weeds just put in more plants so there is no room for them!

ah but thats the problem, I like some of the natives and its some of the cultivated plants that are the weeds in this bed. I am ruthless in pulling plants up if they are in the wrong place.

Ah I see. Yes I have learnt that the hard way. I used to let anything grow but not anymore.

Lovely, Sbg. :-)) Can't see the weeds from here!

Looking good - is that a Geranium in the front with the mauve/blue flowers? Which one is it?

It looks lovely Sbg. No such thing as a weed just missplaced flowers.

hi bamboo, the gerabium is 'johnsons blue'.

there are just a few too many plants in there at the moment. I have to look for the toadlilies and hope they havent been swamped.

Well I'm staggered - I've got Johnson's Blue, been growing it for years, but it doesn't ever look like that, far fewer flowers and a much more sprawly plant.

the one under the beech tree fits your description well :)

So why's this one so much nicer? Does it get more light? Or less light?

My 'Johnson's Blue' sprawls as well, Bamboo - what Spritz would call a good mingler.

I wonder if it isnt Johnson's blue then. It has quite broad leaf so perhaps it isnt. when I get time I will post close ups etc.

23 Jun, 2011

 

that'd be good, I'm not convinced its Johnson's Blue either...

went to an open garden tonight and saw the friend who originally gave me the plant. she said 'oh no it isnt JB but dont ask which it is as I have no idea dear' Well I have the label she wrote grrrrrr

So no idea.

23 Jun, 2011

 

Oh, shame, can't nip out and get one then if I don't know what it is;-))

coe the back end of the year or spring I can send you some Bamboo, but do remind me as I have a memory like a seive. :o)

24 Jun, 2011

 

Thanks for the offer - my brain's going the same way, so hopefully I'll remember too, lol!
