I like this , has it more flowers this year ? should be made more available. Any bees ?

The smell of the leaves and flowers reminds me off when I was little, next door had a huge bush on the boundary fence smoothed in bees which I use to collect and put in my toy plastic garage , thinking back how I never got stung ? plus I used to bring it into the living room lol (my poor mum)

My 'King Edward VII' hardwood cutting has taken.

Ok once it's finished flowering and has some new growth I'll take some cuttings.
Dawn I have been pricking out seedlings from both the salvia seeds you send and also have seeds sprouting of foxglove Stewartii :-)

Brilliant. I've been sowing your seed too, so exciting. Stewartii does seed around, but you will love it. Im so looking for to your Chinese foxglove growing ?
