Thanks Chris, the supermarket have a pale lilac one for sale now, I'm sorely tempted to buy one!

 

They definitely are not for my size of garden!

 

Thanks Sheila, it's so easy to propagate from cuttings too.

The Bees like it, I am trying to plant pollinator friendly plants now and it seems to be working!

Thanks Chris, hope you’re looking forward to a new greenhouse after such an upsetting happening 🤞.

 

Thanks for your lovely comments Sheila and Chris. When we opened our garden last year I was writing the name on peoples’ programmes every few minutes!

 

Gorgeous photos too 🙂.

 

Thanks Sheila and Chris - glad you like it!

Thanks Chrisx

 

Just can't grow these..they look lovely.

 

Hi Chris, I agree with you about Jo Thompsons garden..
It was very relaxed and romantic.Wonder if she will be tempted to do another one next year.At least the theme
is colour this year.I do enjoy watching it at both times.

 

What a lovely approach to your greenhouse.
We are waiting for a new one to be put up because our old one was wrecked by the winter gales.

 

Really pretty.

What a pretty shape it is.

 

What a perfect match, I really like them both.

 

What a pretty shade of yellow it is.

 

Wow! That is very special.

 

Such a peaceful, pretty place.

 

Adverts ruin Goy on my phone from the minute it pops up on the screen but on our IPad we have no trouble at all.

 

That is doing SO well.

 

That iris is a stunning colour.

 

This looks lovely.

 

I do like those frilly edges and its colour too.

 

Hi Klahanie and Seaburngirl.
Thankyou both so much for your response and Klahanie on the other side of the pond, in Canada ,I think your assumption is absolutely right , Tradiscantia. I have checked many pics , could not find the deep purple but leaf formation and petal lay out is right. Seaburn girl , hallo again after a few years away from GYO , if it is a weed , I like it.
Thanks both much appreciated , I hope to be back reading all these lovely letters again.

 

I grew it during my everlasting flowers phase. The stems are too short and thin to work as an everlasting unless you glue them to a tree stem.

On question - I saw this ?

 

No adverts for me on my iPad since you advised installing the free Adblock plus app. I do hope Brian gets this and we can enjoy his company and his lovely garden again. He has gifted me so many plants and seeds over the years.

 

What a lovely plant Shirley.

I like the colour too. Very nice.

 

Oh dear. I am glad you sorted it out, it’s lovely.

 

Oh my word, what a glorious sight.

 

It’s really pretty.

Isn’t it beautiful.

 

Thank you Balcony. They are a good plant to have and flower all summer. I always take the dead flowerheads off.

I can imagine they would Klahanie..the Iris was gifted from Ange...I do miss her on here especially her humour.

Thanks Shirley. At the moment the flowers are chunky rather than tall, but maybe they’ll look different in a week or so. I’ll let you know!

Will pass your comment on its creator Shirley. I am sure he will appreciate it.

 

They look very good where they are, Andie! :)

 

They seems to be big trees not suitable for every garden.
:-)

 

Beautiful flowers, Lindak! :)

I hope it will work for Brian. I used to like his garden.

 

Wonderful photo.

 

Klahanie, I don't think it's a bad specimen at all and would be more than happy to have that on my property!

Mind you, it would fill a lot of my garden ... :o)
