Patio steps

What a lovely picture. Those Lavatera are fabulous. Bet you will be saving seed from those PP. I shall definitely be looking out for those. Did you grow them last year for flowers this year.

Thanks Cinderella . I sowed the seed in February this year,I them grow each year they are so easy and are prolific flowerers;0))

It looks fabulous Carole . we were in a garden centre at the weekend where we found a packet of Lavatera seed I'm hoping the seed will keep for next year ,do you think it will or will it be to old ?

I think it should be fine Amy I have sowed seed when its over a year old and it has been fine, good luck with it and I will send you some from mine when they have finished;0)

mouthwatering picture Pp, and how neat and clean everything is. I wish mine looked like this:-)

Beautiful picture of a beautiful garden, I love those steps. :O)

Thanks BA and Olive for your lovely comments;0)

Thanks Carole , I'm keeping my fingers crossed that mine will 'take ' Like you I have grown seed thats been over a year old , if I have any different colours I will save seed for you ......

Beautiful PP

Thanks Amy thats nice of you

thanks Drc;0)

It all looks stunning,Carole..and how lovely to look on to it from your Conservatory...I wouldn't want to go to bed,if I had this view ! Lol.

Thanks Sandra, ther are another three pots of Lavertera on the patio area which you can't see on the photo, its going to look awfully dull when they eventually finish flowering;0(

I didn't realise they were in pots,Carole..I thought they were in the border...:o)

That's a lovely setting:)

Thankyou Violet the steps do make a nice feature.
Sandra The ones on the Patio are in Pots but I have some in the borders that have done very well to, just starting to thin out a bit now!

Aren't they wonderful...i have been trying to picture the garden without the pink lavatera and it would be quite different. I love them!

I do too Karen its going to seem very dull without them!!

Thanks HB Its one of my favourite areas as you can enjoy it from inside too especially when its too wet to go out;0)

Very pretty. Colours are gorgeous.

Looks great Carole! Haven't grown lavatera for a few years, now I wish I had...lol!

Thanks Dwyllis and Janey, Im afraid two of the big pots were blown don the staps yesterday but luckly they were not broken and the plants just needed tidying up where the stems had broke, so back in place now but showing signs of thining out now!!

What a lovely garden...:)

now that is a picture, absolutely wonderful

This looks absolutely stunning.

Thanks Gzin, Yorkshire and Carol, just been tying them up after the strong winds these last two days! lots of seed caps forming so I supose the next stage will be collecting seed to start all over again for next year ;0)

WOW

Thanks Michaella we have had very heavy rain this mornig and the poor Lavertera have been bashed about, looking very sorry for themselves now;0(
