New Semperviren pot..

Your sempers look very good in their pots YDD. Well done.

Thanks Sinders..

They look great......

I like the gravel contrast on the pots realy finishes them of nicely.
It may be dull and wet but they are beautifully colourful!

How do you keep your hostas looking so lovely. I've had to resort to lambs wool pellets or standing them in the pond to save mine.

Thanks Hollyeves and sandygirl, lovely comments.
I think these hostas are resistant Sandygirl, they are very thick leave'd, my thinner light green leaf one's in the bed opposite have been chewed to bits :( even with using pellets.
Lambswool pellets! Ive never heard of them, do they work?

the pot is looking very pretty already.. And totally love the Brunnera , I think it will have to go on my list of plants to get soon.. Dottydaisy inspired me too with her recent pictures and I've just done a little pot of house leeks too..

Love the Sempervirens and the Brunnera Jack Frost looks so well with the Host, very eyecatching especially on a dull day;0))

My wishlist is getting bigger,lol. They look lovely Ydd, the Brunnerra looks great and you have answered my question about shady corner...

That pot looks stunning and your hosta is lovely :) I found a couple of leaves on my new one had been munched but I caught the little devil today and covered him with salt! Nasty little things.

I like the sempervivums. I used to have them growing out of the walls in the other house. They look nice in your pot with the gravell around them :)

Yes, they do look good with the gravel - and the Lewisia too - very pretty combination!

They look gorgeous in those pots Ydd, you`ve done a great job. :o)

Congratulations on a great job YDD, I love the contrast of those turquoise stones. The acer, hosta and Jack Frost look such a classy combination. I treated myself to a new Brunnera this year called "Mr Morse" not unlike Jack Frost.

Brilliant job, YDD! :-)) I haven't grown these plants since I was a teenager! (Many, many moons ago! LOL!)

YDD they look terrific, do like the blue stones around them, and so healthy too.
Have bought another Brunnera have posted a pic, has cream in the leaves......

Just came in from work 11.55pm, Im not ignoring you hahaha. WoW, thanks for your lovely comments everyone.
Madabout, i would love to see a pic of your new semp pot ;)
PP, the jackfrost is stunning, lovely big silvery heart shaped leave's, Bright blue flowers in spring and hardy as well, couldn't get any better .
Glad i helped you lincslass :)
Craftyemma, amazing how one slug can cause so much damage, I knew there was one munching in one of my pots, I finally found it and it was teeny!!!
Thanks Hywel, my minds working overtime, Im trying to workout if i have any gaps in my walls or even paving, hmmmm ill look tomorrow..
Thanks sheilabub/labdancer.
Mr Morse stroller! seems like there,s lots of varieties of Brunnera..
So you will be an expert at growing them Balcony :) why not give them another go, take you back to your youth lol

Hi Dd, Thanks for your comment, much appreciated, ill go look at your Brunnera now..

oooooooooo thats so pretty , i used to have some in trough over the stream , but lost them ......
love the little stoes , set it all off

you seem to have a great artistic touch with both your plant choice and planting style, well inspirational. you also inspired me to try canna's again,really like the look of them,but the frost beat me last year,still awaiting to see if the root has any will to survive.but seeing your pics made me to bite the bullet and dash off to b+q. But i felt cheated, no offer in our shop,but the plants were there, think i'll just wiat an see,spent a fortune this year already lol.

Thanks Kev for your lovely comment, shame the B&Q offer wasn't on, Doesen't seem so bad when you get 3for2 offers, I lost my canna's 2 years ago, they were overwintered in the greenhouse!!!! If the offer hadn't of been on, I wouldn't of bought them, i to have spent a fortune this year :)
