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.

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)

You did well here Julia.

I got this allium for hummingbirds Julia . They love it.
Interesting plant. Your iris is lovely.

How wonderful to have Hummingbirds ... :o)

Will you be able to keep them smaller in pots?

Karen, are they filling their garden with plants yet?

Sheila, might it be Salvia nemorosa 'Sallyrosa Jumbo Pink'? Have a look at images on-line.

Sheila, it's a lovely plant, named correctly or not. Enjoy it!

Sbg, I know what you talk about. There are so many plants I cannot grow because of our acidic clay soil or heavy rains in the winter and many other reasons. So I am also envious about some plants you girls grow. We do have to adjust don't we ?.

Thank you Julia for your kind comment.

It's a very prolific one here Klahanie. I have 4 dependables and a couple of tempremental ones.

Thank you Julia, I am not very good at growing clematis.
You would not believe how many I bought and how little I have. The only one which grows well here is a Montana

Our hummingbirds would be happy at your place Shirley.
They love this plant. I like it too.

What a beautiful place to re charge and have a break xx

I’ve just looked up Plant world Lemon and think you must be right Shirley. Probably because it was bought a year ago I couldn’t remember the name, but nothing else pops up on Google!

Yes, I’m the same Karen, I’ve learnt to ignore them.

Thanks Eileen, that’s what my gardening friend thought today, but if I give it away it would be really good to know which variety!

Karen, don't even think of moving to where the soil is Alkaline ! :o))

lovely pair of villages. been through them both many times.

I am so envious.
I have a very chalky soil and cant grow them. I will not waste money on trying to modify the soil.

certainly looks salvia -ish.

does it 'rub off' looks like fungal growth.

it was on last week and Google translate identified it.
the profile also says Vietnam ;)

the leaves are not stalked as such though.

only a weed if you dont want it!

dont think it is euphorbia.
Wylie's id may well be correct. I dont grow this plant.

underwatering considering how dry the spring has been.
a bucket full a day/every other day until the weather produces rain.

they will perk up.

I have to tolerate them on the iPad. You do get used to them after a while.
