Aconitum Monks head

Lovely picture Amy , they do look like Monks heads;0)

They do don't they ?, they are so late coming into flower I was beginning to think they never would ! ....

Nice. I grew some from seed, bit late in tne year tho but they're in the coldframe ready for planting out next year.

Ours are out also, shame OH is not fond of them.....

You will have them to look forward to Dawn , I wonder why that is Angela they make a good show late in the year and are well behaved standing upright ....

Lovely colour blue,Amy..is this the plant that is poisonous? or am I on the wrong one?

Lovely one Amy is it aconitum carmichaelii as that was the one my dad used to have.

Ojojoj, lol.

Yes Sandra it is highly poisonous ! Slad I'm sorry I can't find the label which is unusual as I always try to keep them ,I can't even remember whe I got it form maybe someone gave it to me If I split it I will save a piece for you ..

Thanks Amy your very kind.

I had some in my last garden, Amy...did I send you seed? Aconite is an old poison...errr I think it's called Monk's hood, right? after the monk's attire? It's a beautiful blue, that's mainly why I bought it...you know me and my love of all plants blue.

Yours are much later than mine Amy, which flower mid summer. Gorgeous colour blue isn't it, don't forget your gardening gloves when touching it, I bet you know every part is poisonous, I did dig one of mine out as I didn't want Lottie rubbing past it.

Mine were very late this year too. Well worth the wait though!

No Lori this one didn't come from you and yes it is also called Monks Hood ! I know it's poisonous Janey but never think of wearing gloves I must remember if I'm going to be touching it ...Definitely Meanie , a lot more flowers have opened since this and are blooming they make a lovely late show in the garden ...
