Verbascum 'Jackie'

Its Lovely Spritz :) Looks Little like a Holly Hock :)

Glad you like 'your' flower, Jac!

:D

This is a beautiful subtle colour Spritz ...love the little droplets of rain...

Errrrrr. Looks like rain, BB - but it was actually from my watering can! I'd just planted them! LOL.

Glad you like these - next to them the other way are Papaver 'Patty's Plum' - I'm waiting for them to flower as they are part of the 'picture'.

Oops...sorry...you have had no rain ! Lol. Looking forward to the " picture " : )

I just hope my 'vision' of the colours comes out as it is in my head, BB!

Sure it will Spritz....you have the "knack"...

Yes Spritz just like BB z u really do have a Knack with Border Colours im sure u wont be disapointed :)

If it all goes wrong you'll hear the scream from Norfolk and probably in Yorkshire as well!

lol sounds like we mite need some ear defenders BB :) lol

LOL..if it isnt the owls screeching in the trees in the churchyard next door,we will know it is you dear Spritz !

Should do the trick with Patty she's the girl!!

I haven't grown her before - but I think her colour will fit in??? I hope????

Love this verbascum I think it will go atreat with Patty's Plum I have this in my border and it is very similar in colouring perhaps a touch darker!

Thanks Pp - that's reassuring! Maybe Jacque and BB may not need their earplugs after all!

I will have to buy one now especially as its name is the same as mine.

You'll like it, Jackie! :-)

Great photo Spritz,
Not rain Eh, it certainly does a good imitation.

You actually need to imitate rain? lol i have a very simular coloured one of these i think mine is more coppery though can't remeber off the top of the head i'll have a look in a mo and come back to ya. this is a beauty by the way.

Thanks - Yes, I know we have been a lot drier than Essex, but actually, the garden needs rain now - I was out watering last evening!

V. 'Cotswold Beauty' i just had a look again it is very simular, maybe a bit darker in colour. I don't mind the rain this time of year anyway, it does help everything get going, we have had rain quite a lot last week but it has been nice and sunny the last few days, it's nice if you can get a bit of both.

I THINK that I have that in the top border - it has a bud on it, so not long to wait. The name sounds familiar. Is yours out?

If it rained in the night and was sunny in the daytime, that would be ideal!!! lol.

lol yes it would, and no - not even the hint of a bud on my Verbascum as yet, barely above the ground just a few little leaves at the moment, - the spot it is in is full shade until mid April, then it's in full sun from about noon every day - ever since next door put huge extension on that is! it did'nt seem to mind last year it soon caught up. i have pic's of it from last year on my pages if you want to have a nose, it is very simular to this one, might even look nice together?

No more space, full up! I'm hoping that the Nigella seeds I sprinkled will germinate, but otherwise, this bed is done. I reckon your photo is very like the one in the top border, I'll have to wait and see. :-)

Looking good - Spritz. Another one we will look out for for our main bed.
