Spring pinks.

Crawling around this border yesterday, clearing. Looks quite jolly in the sunshine.

Nigella, Cal, 'Love-in-a- Mist', my very favourite annual and comes back every year. I just pull out the bits I don't want.

What a lovely collection of pink pretties, Ange! Cal described the Nigella perfectly!

I will have to remember that one Ange, very effective would look brill in a fairy garden too all whimsical 😊 thank you. Sorry for being ignorant but what is the big one with the pink head in the bottom right corner?

😁 Thanks Kate

Cal, it's poppy 'Patty's Plum', can be a bit dull purplish pink, but there are lots of soft pink herbaceous poppies you could choose instead. This popped up in my border 3 years ago - I never planted it! However, the flowers of any of these poppies don't last for long because the bees are at them as soon as they're out! If you plant them take note: they're hellish difficult to get rid of. This has been (unsuccessfully) dug out 2 years on the trot! Choose carefully.

Oh wow, thank you for the advice Ange, it is pretty though. I think there is a pink one I like it’s about 3 footish and has a Pom Pom shaped head, I don’t know it’s name but it’s like a baby pink colour.

Ange - I keep forgetting to tell you, one of the lovely Irises that you sent me really has flowered. Sadly the 'neck' got knocked (a bird? next door's cat?) and the flower is facing downwards, so it hasn't had a chance to last. But THANK YOU for sending them :)

Glad to, Sheila. Hope they continue to grow well for you.
