Liatris and Rudbeckia

Lovely combination Cinders and love those little faces pansies.

Thanks Sixpence. They have been flowering all summer

Lovely!!!

Thank you Paul. You feeling better.

Yes thanks Cinderella - I think I may be diabetic - always have bad dizzy spells after sugar and flu - been off sugar and feel better :))))))))))))

Oh thats not nice, I know what that is like as I sometimes get that too, but I am not diabetic as far as I know.

I may not be - but had liquorice and 2 mins after very dizzy - plus keeping busy keeps me getting down about things too :)))))))))

Lovely Cinders to have such a show for so long.

Hope you recover from it Paul sorry to hear you might be diabetic, they do say if its not gone to far it can be reversed.

That's a lovely clump of Liatris ... :o)

Yes but the rain has since spoilt it.

Oh, stupid weather! ...

lol :o)))

I love this area Cinderella....

thanks moti

Will be bringing my camera on Saturday!

OK. Your welcome

What lovely Liatris,I don't know why but I always lose mine.

This one has been here for at least five years, just gets better and better.

I bought one that was supposed to be white ...and it was mauve... was all set to have it for a while and it didn't make it thro the next winter!! Guess I just got a weak one...or perhaps I could have placed it better. Maybe I should try again?!

Well, this one is not in very good soil, its very stony, don't know if that would be the reason or not. I have one further down the garden where the soil is richer and it is not doing so well. Food for thought .....

Good reading that Cinders...I've just replaced my Liatris after two years of not really doing much...these new ones have been planted in unsweetened light gritty, good draining Soil..which I've grown to like now, as so many of my plants seem to thrive in it...Obviously the ones that like a richer soil get it...i hope the new Liatris will do well, I really love this plant, and it's the only one of this shape, that opens from the top down, the foliage, is splendid too, and all adds to it for me...:)))

Good luck with the new one then Sue. I'm going to move my other one, which is pink, to a place with poorer soil.

Nearer to Spring I'll look on the Nursery Website near me, and see if they've got the Pink too...'Blaue Fontaine' are the ones I bought...(Blue Fountain) I would think...:)))

Lol >:o))

lol...:)) you have to laugh..
