WOW!

im biased when it comes to blue flowers but this really gorgeous :)

They certainly seem to like something about where they are planted!

It's definately a hum-dinger, Oldshape! Thanks for posting a pic. :-)

Wow Hope My Red Hot Poker Gets as Big&As Wonderful as yours Oldshape :)

It must be very happy Oldshape The most I.ve had on mine is eight ,but its still only little I grew them from seed last year ,

I've always wanted one of those. Seems like I say that about all plants
Looks wonderful

Looks great never seen so many on one plant

Te he - you might like to get some cream for that!

No, the colour is due to the variety - most do have the yellow bottom tho. Mine is K. 'Northern Lights', tho I haven't seen it sold since. I bought it blind, not knowing what colour it would be. Nice surprise :-)

Hi Oldshape - I'm glad you posted again, as I felt I'd given you some mis-information! In fact, mirroring what you've said, my Kniphofia too has flowered well since you asked your question. I just posted pictures of it yesterday - you will find them easily if you go to my pictures page. As you will see, after a faultering start, it has done really well! Very odd!!!!

So odd - mine is much smaller than yours, but still..... Sorry I can't help :-(

Great close-up shot..! It's a lovely shade of blue.

Sorry, no suggestions on this one, but my kniphofia is also not flowering this year (it has sent up just one flw spike - usually has plenty). I wonder if the weather has something to do with it? Been pretty gloomy here for a while - no really high temperatures for a while and v wet last summer. I wonder?

ALso, watch out for slugs as they do target the flower stems and buds.

lovely

Is this an Olearia? It's lovely whatever its name is.

beautiful

Yes it's oseospermum whirligig. I've been after some of these for ages.

Looks like Centranthus . nice looking but a bit of a thug

It looks like Osteospermum : )

Wow, cool looking!
