Closeup of Lavertera

Really really beautiful. Jx

They are lovely, have made a note to get some of these for next year.

Wow they are beautiful and grown from seed this year I'm envious in fact I'm beginning to wonder if our soil isn't suitable for them ,I bought a nice shrub last year it has disappeared !

Only one of these survived,that you gave me,Carole..and it looks positively weedy,compared to yours ! It's only just started flowering ..stop laughing,I can hear you ..Lol.

Thanks Janey,Cinderella,Amy and Sandra. Well worth growing and so easy,
Sandra what did you do to yours lol
Amy they are not fussy about soil [apart from Sandra's lol] and grow well in pots, containers and borders!

I might pop over and pinch some of your soil,Carole..so if you see a few little trowel sized holes ...Lol. I used to grow these ,quite a while ago,and they were always lovely..So many nice summer plants aren't there? might go back to these..:o).I'm giving Dahlias a miss next year...

Looking lovely , there , Pansy , I haven't tried these from seed for a couple of years ; better give them another go , I think !

I will be on guard Sandra , with my hosepipe ready lol I have tried Daliha's but they didnt like my garden so like you I have given up on them, can't please everything can you ;0) [Ready for a big day tomorrow eh!]

Thanks Dirad didnt see you up there;0)

Oh yes,Carole..but it will be bread and jam for tea ! Lol.

I really should be in bed , I only came on to see if I am millionaire yet , and I thought that I'd see who was about !
Dalhias are a dream to grow from seed , don't give up
on them , I 've got lots of seeds if you would like , ladies .

May give them another go Driad, do they flower the same year from seeds and what time do you sow them? will have a look at your site and see if you have any pictures of them;0)

Sandra hope you both enjoyed your Bread and Jam, we went a little up market and Stretched to Cauliflower Cheese lol The Deed is Done!!!

So is ours,Carole..we pushed the boat out,and went in Wetherspoons for a late breakfast ..and had Chicken sandwiches for tea...debtors prison next ! :o)

Dont worry you will have good company;0))

If you pick your own cell number,we will try and get near to you !! Lol.

Hi , Pp , haven't quite mastered loading pics onto the site yet !
Dahlias flower the same year from seed , beautifully .

Oooooh whose are these Carole, do you know their name, are they a mix? I could have a garden just full of these lol:-)

This is my favorite ,Pansy, Truly beautiful:-))))))))

That is a really beautiful one Carole, and I have to agree...Lavatera and Malva are easy to grow and so rewarding. The bees love them too!

Stunning flowers, Carole ... must get some next year to go with the Malvas ... :o)

Beautiful Carole! I've grown these along with Cosmos, they're really easy aren't they, yet look fantastic!

Ba Will send you some seed later in the season if you PM me your address;0)
Thanks Shirley, Junna and Karen a must for pots and borders;0)

Thanks Janey I grew them with Cosmos too [Cosmos didnt do as well ths year the Dam Slugs got most of them] ;0)
