Potentilla Fireball!

lovely set of photos Mage

Thanks Yorks, very much, had to nip in and out between showers, lightning, thunder & a little sun!

no rain up here today, in fact we have had a couple of decent days, Oh I lied, had rain during the night.

Thats how it should be, while we are sleeping!!

Very pretty again.

Wow no wonder its called Fireball its glowing and very very pretty;0)

Hello you two!! Lloo & Pp, Lol, I love this plant the colour is such a deep shade of red, beautiful.

It is a stunner, so easy to love;0)

love the colour - reds are great

I love this one too..gorgeous ! :o)

Thanks Paul, B, & Pp, I seem to be buying the dark red plants at the moment they make a nice splash in the border.

agree :):):)

:~)

Utterly sublime colour, great set of pics! We had about 3 inches of rain in half an hour last night!!

It is such a perfect capture Grandmage.You are a terrific photographer.And the colour is soooooooooooo sweet and lovely.

Ooooohhh Camillia you say the sweetest things but really all the praise should go the camera! I seem to be drawn to dark reds at the moment and cannot stop buying different plants of red,purple & dark pink! Thanks Lulu, we do need the rain dont we, but not quite so much in such a short space of time!

I was thnking about sending your fennel today, I will.....I think I have just worked out how to send it xxx

I won't believe you Grandmage.It is the photographer not the camera who makes beautiful picture.The way you have focused on the flower, makes it stand out.The blurring of the background has done the magic.Its raelly a terrific shot.And moreover you have not photo shoped the picture.Am I right?

Camillia I am not sure how I did it, honestly, you are too kind to me. :~)
Lulu, I am looking forward to my plants, dont go to too much trouble!

Just pulled out loads more, they got very long tap roots!!

Have they? Do you just leave yours to look pretty or do you use the bulb for cooking? How is woofy?

Woofy better thanks, just broody and whiney!
Bronze fennel doesn't have a bulb! But they grow so big i can't just leave them where they seed!

Is it only the green one that does then?

Think so!
I am now planning to dig a new bed where I can have a forest of them!!

Ooooohhh lovely.
