Gloriosa Daisy

Look very similar to Rudbeckia, how big are the flowers? Lovely btw.

They are Rudbeckia, aren't they Simbad?

Thankyou Dawn, yes they are rudbeckias Moti, these are quite large flowers Dawn, haven't measured but would say they're 3-4inches across, love the colours, I swapped the seed and totally forgot about them, they'd been in my seed box for 6 or 7 years!!!! but still grew :-)

Thankyou, I keep my seeds in the fridge HB,they take up more room than the food,lol :-))

:-))

Flowers that size must be quite a sight. I agree with Homebird, you do store your seed well.

I've not forgot your seeds and geranium cuttings Dawn :-), the thalictrum seeds are taking forever to ripen, hopefully won't be long now, the golden hop you sent are doing brilliantly, romping away :-)

Thanks Kathy. I've got a note to send you a rhizome from my iris las vegas too, when its a bit bigger, I wont forget. Glad the Hop is growing, you'll love it when it gets going, they die down in winter and pop up agin in spring to about 8 feet, bomb proof.

I remember that lovely iris Dawn :-)
Yes the hops are in huge pots at the moment I'm going to plant one to grow up my arbour but the greenhouse which is next to it is in a sorry state at the moment, it needs some drastic repairs or we need a new one so no point planting if its going to be taken down, it'll just get trampled.

I had one hop in a pot for years and years, it will be fine.

Sorry your greenhouse is in need of repair, is it a wooden one? More expense, tut.

Thats good to know Dawn :-)
Yes its a wooden greenhouse 12 years old, I do have a metal frame one too, so now the gardens getting crammed full of plants trying to decide whether I really need two, although the wooden ones in a much sunnier spot earlier in the year so better for young seedlings, mmmm decisions decisions.

Lots of decisions. Shame the wooden greenhouse didnt last a bit longer. I have two, too, plus 2 coldframes, all of them always seem to be full. Bet you'll get another one - maybe Santa will be kind to you.
