Delphinium..the only one this year ! .Photo 1..

Very picturesque

Thanks Paul,I look forward to seeing them every year,a shame the others got eaten..luckily this has flowering side shoots to open yet :o)

Some of mine never made it through the winter. I see it as an opportunity to visit the garden center and find something new.

Wow that's a beauty Sandra :o))

I would be very happy with that one too Sandra its Gorgeous Delphiniums and Lupins I just cant grow in my garden the Nasties wont even let them get to the budding stage;0(

A Beauty there though Bloomer nearly everything seems to have grown really tall this year :o)

Thanks Amy,Carole and Neellan,for your kind comments..I am very happy with it ,and I think all the rain we have had,has helped a lot..and a few shovels of my compost :o)

Lovely white one, ours half that size....and it has mildew..lol

Same here Sandra:-( Only 2 decent ones, still better than none! This is whopper!!

Thanks Angela..mine have usually been quite big,but this one must be the bully,and wanted to be top dog ! :o)

Sorry to hear you have only two decent ones this year,Val,but you have one more than me ! Lol..looking back,I was quite late this year,digging in the 'slug gone' ,as I usually do it in February..but it never stopped raining ! and with the mild winter,the slugs eggs had a field day when they hatched.earlier than usual,I guess :o(.

Lovely flower though , Bloomer . A joy in itself .
How are you BTW ? I haven't been around of late .

Whats the 'slug gone' Sandra.....mine have had a field day this year.They've eaten nearly all of my Aster and Phlox... little 'B.....s, like you couldn't get on.

Thank you Driad,it is..better to have one,than none at all :o)and I'm fine thanks..even better on Monday when I get this pot off my wrist..!

That is stunning Sandra ... love it. :o)

Slug gone,is an organic product,Val.made from Sheeps wool,and the fibres stick to their skin..sounds lovely doesn't it? I have used it for a few years,but it was under another name,before garden centres started selling it commercially..I used to get it from a well known local Nursery in our area..it's quite expensive,but if you Google it,it will give you all the info,if you are interested..or look for it in one of your outlets..Well worth it,if you remember to dig it in at the right time ! Lol..it also acts as a Fertiliser..Sorry you have lost some of your plants too.:o(

Thank you Shirley,at least it's a focal point :o)
