They are all lovely in spite of the weather , aren't they, Surrie ?
I especially like the petunia ( one of my favorite annuals ) , how unusual it is .
The Eucomis Vandermerwei sounds like something out of Harry Potter !

Doesn't it homebird? That's what I was going to say too. Lots of great flowers there Slad. It's great to see that things are finally making progress. WE just need a bit of warmth now and it will all go mad! :)) Can't wait!

20 May, 2012

20 May, 2012
Lol good space and full sun with plenty of organic matter mixed in and around them helps...
20 May, 2012
eeeeeeeeek !!!

but now i have them in pots ~ should i move the pots to try to find sun????
20 May, 2012
full sun is best yes, large pots are ok put some camellia compost in with it, they like that...
20 May, 2012
Stand by for blueberry pie , folks !
20 May, 2012
I love the little hoverfly S/lad . are the Impatients your own cuttings ,clever boy ! I have a row of Blueberry bushes loaded with blossom , I'm hoping for a good yield this year , blueberries are good for the eyesight ....I didn't know about the Camelia compost thanks for that :o)
20 May, 2012
Yes I think it's better to see photos in a blog - much easier than individually. You've got some nice flowers - interesting and cololurful :o)
