I have just briught a foxglove tree and am a little worried that the packaging said levender blue

Usually the colour.
Is it a foxglove or a tree Paulowinia? If its a tree it will take years to grow to maturity before it flowers with fox glove like flowers on it.

the description "lavender blue" applies only to the colour of the flowers - this plant is entirely unrelated to Lavender, so don't worry, Tothtugga (are you a dentist?)

I'm a dental nurse, missed an O out of name and can't work out how to change it.

Ha ha, I'm dead chuffed I worked it out, or pretty close anyway, tothtugga - you won't be able to change it now, once you've got a name, you're stuck with it, I'm afraid.

Just to say Paulownia (the foxglove tree) grows very rapidly to make a very big tree and forms the flower buds before the winter. It is only after a reasonably mild winter that the flowerbuds will survive and open as the very nice foxglove like flowers.
If you find it too large a tree, you can always cut it right down each year to the base and it will then grow as a shrub with extremely large tropical looking leaves.

thats funny tothtugga, i didnt spot that one well done bamboo

thankyou bertiefox,
I'll try to keep it to a reasonable height.

Hi Tothtugga, I think you can alter your name by going into "update your profile" and then changing your name in the buddy/icon/avatar slot.

Ooops, I just tried this and not sure if I'm right, sorry!

You can't, Dylandog - I know, I've tried, having used part of my email address by mistake as my profile name...
