Viola's...still flowering .:o)

These were bought last Autumn.I cut them right back,and replanted them in a pot with Fuchsia cuttings..not yet in flower..so now they are just as prolific as in the winter..I call that very good value for money..:o)

Great value indeed. I have never bothered with violas before but you have inspired me to give them a go.

They look stunning Sandra and jolly good value , I hope they carry on with the seedlings for you :-)

Thank you Amy..I think I jumped the gun a bit,saying I had lots of seedlings..I potted about 20 up today..and I have just been thinking..as you do ..and I remembered I also had forget me nots there as well ! Oh Sugar ! I bet that's what they are..as the tiny leaves felt a bit velvety..but with being so small,looked like Viola's !Back to the drawing board for me..and the back of the class...:o((

They are brilliant value for money. I trimmed some of mine right back last month and they are in flower again now.
Ps Yours are very 'Mrs Slocombe' shades of blue Lol!

We had heavy rain till Lunchtime,and then it wasn't a bad afternoon,just an odd shower..They have perked up really well,as it hasn't rained properly for ages...and a blue rinse works wonders on them. Lol.

I love these Sandra ... I hope you'll enjoy your crop of Forget-me-nots in the Spring ... lol!

18 Jul, 2011

 

Lol,Shirley..oh no I won't ....I pulled them up the day after ..and still lots still in the border...:o) Can't believe I wasted all that time,pricking them out..:o)

18 Jul, 2011

 

They do spread all over the place ... I have to thin loads out in the Spring and just leave a few ... : o )

18 Jul, 2011

 

I still have a couple with a few flowers on! so lots more seeds there..I will have to be ruthless..:o)
