MORE OF THE BEAUTIFUL GEUM:-)

I at least know it's a rivale:-)

Very pretty colour Bornagain, love it, I have the pinky flowered rivale and bright orange 'Borisii' but thats all, they have sooooo many flowers don't they :-)

very pretty BA and lovely next to the blue :o)

My bright Orange one is doing really well now..my neighbour gave me a tiny one about three years ago..and it has really got going at last ..no idea what variety is,but no problem,I just like it ..as I do yours Ba..such a subtle colour:o)

Simbad, I think I'm starting a collection, must have about 10 now. Totally Tangerine is a must have in my book although I do love the rivales. I've got at least 1 borisii. In 2010 my rivale Leonards Variety seemed to flower non-stop ...not many flowers last year though, must have overdone it before:-)

Thanks Sandra, I keep going to look at it.... I sometimes think it's our gardens that keep us sane lol:-)

Thanks Blooming Sandra, glad you like yours too, it's probably borisii if it's quite low growing:-)

Thanks Ba,it is a low growing one,but thats fine where I have it..so its nice to know the name:o) I am getting quite fond of these too,after seeing yours..and yes,I agree about our gardens keeping us sane..just got to learn to stop dribbllng now ! Lol..:or should that be drooling ? :o))

Thats the one I have BA 'Leonards Variety' :-) strangely mine has more flowers than its ever had this year!!!!, I'm off to check out 'Totally Tangerine' now ;-)

Simbad, if you would like to see it, there is a Totally Tangerine blog of mine, only three pics so only take you a minute ... May 21st 2012 showing the triple flower which crops up often. From 2011 - 2012 it only took a few weeks break for frost:-)

Tissue for Bloomer anyone?:-))

I have one called Geum x borisii Bg your photos look like mine, having said that mine aren't in flower yet ....

Cheeky ! Lol..by the way,I put a blog on especially for you,as I know you are mad keen on Sailors..!! they are in the title..now, if you want to share my tissues ?? :o)

This I must see !!!

Lol,Amy..just seen your comment on the blog..I hadn't realised you hadn't seen it :o)...

Hi Amy, loads of geums have similar leaves unfortunately, and flowers come to that. (Now that I've written 'come to that' what a funny expression ....now wondering if I've made it up lol) Borisii has in-your-face orange, not this soft colour. I believe geums are promiscuous and it seems quite easy for the breeders to produce new ones, but not so easy to identify them after you lose the label:-)

Sandra, where on Earth did you get the idea that I'm keen on sailors ....I'm not a nice girl:-)))

I dunno,Ba..seems to ring a bell though..something about walking the plank in your knitted Tankini,with Yorky and Johnjoe in tow,and me being your lackey? ..just taken my tablet..I'll be ok in a minute ! :o)) x

You got that wrong Sandra, Mouldy was our lackey, you are always an honoured guest:-))

Ah yes,now I remember..of course I was..:o)

Pale blue and peachy colours together in a flower bed - how lovely is that? Delightful.
:-)

Thanks Chris, I think I've found out which geum it is too ...Geum Apricot, bought off ebay via Westcountry Nurseries, owner Donkeydaisy, I've just ordered a few different plants from her as I've been pleased with the quality. Apparently G. Apricot flowers ALL summer\0/ :-)

I shall look her up myself - thanks for that.
