I love this Shirley, never heard of it before, what a pretty blue..

Thanks both. They were part of a GW magazine Summer bulbs offer in 2010 and have slender green stems. Now I have stupidly pulled up a fair few over the years, mistaking them for Grape Hyacinth (can't stand those!) so bought some more to top up the first ones.
Here's a strange thing - when I look at 'My Garden' page, some of the photos are sideways, some of the reminders to do things are still there, although I know I have done those tasks. What is going on??

I am so pleased you put these on. I couldn’t remember the name…I think they are very such a pretty blue. I think that’s when I got mine.

I agree Sheila . . . they are lovely when growing in a small clump.

I have some too, and they come back reliably. Such a gorgeous blue!

Anget, I have yet to see any insects on them, not a Bee nor Hoverfly. Strange, or am I just not looking at the right time?!
28 Jun, 2021
No, I don't think I have either. But something must fertilize them as they always set seed.

Gorgeous colour on these, Shirley..such a pretty shaped flower too. Unusual you haven’t seen my insects on them.

Kate, I haven't seen many Hoverflies around this year (yet), which is strange as usually there are so many of them. I never use chemicals in the garden so it's not that.

Lovely colour & flowers.

Josie, following the heavy rain and high winds overnight these looked dreadful first thing. Pleased to say they have perked up a little.

I'm glad they've recovered. I don't know this plant, must look out for it.

Josie, you won't be disappointed!

I love how they catch the light.
