This is a lovely plant. I resisted buying one at the GC today!....(looks proud of self....!!)...Yes, I bought three geraniums, a paeony, and a Magnolia instead!!....doh! but, but, but, they gave me four free primulas..........so that's ok?

That's OK-ish, Karen - but you'll miss this...sob, sob.

Which geraniums did you buy?

7 Apr, 2010

 

Vision violet, Mayflower, David McClintock. Magnolia Susan and an orangey tree paeony.

pretty :o)

Oooh! I've got Mayflower, but not the other two. I looked at tree paeonies today - and resisted them! Not sure how.....lol.

Gosh, I admire a woman with self-control!! Something I can only aspire to!

Love this Barbara!

Thanks, Janey...

Karen - you didn't buy this, did you? That took self-control! :-))

7 Apr, 2010

 

hmmm...probably go back for it knowing me! lol x

7 Apr, 2010

 

I would, too - if I've liked a plant, it stays in my mind and I just HAVE to go back and bring it safely home with me! :-)))))

Ah, you lovely ladies keep the GCs going. Another beauty Barbara, fantastic colour.

8 Apr, 2010

 

Aye, well there is that to it!! lol thanks DrBob!

8 Apr, 2010

 

I keep Nurseries AND GCs going in our area! LOL...

8 Apr, 2010

 

Yeah! Thats me and you B, on a quest to keep the local plantsmen in business! lol

8 Apr, 2010

 

:-0))))) A very enjoyable quest, Karen! LOL.

8 Apr, 2010

 

Oh, indeed!! lol

I still have a list of plants that need replacing...I've got to replace a Hebe and both Correas, for a start! I have a cunning plan....;-)

8 Apr, 2010

 

Not another cunning plan Barbara........love this little plant..

8 Apr, 2010

 

Yes, my hebes are all dead too, I guess that's no surprise. I stuck some wallflowers in instead of them yesterday but something better will have to be 'acquired' soon!

9 Apr, 2010

 

I enjoy cooking up cunning plans, Dd - you should know by now! LOL.

WALLFLOWERS??? Karen? Really? Hmmm.........More cunning plans are needed, I think! ;-)

9 Apr, 2010

 

i know, i don't even like wallflowers! They were just the right shade of lemon though. As I drove home in the car I was thinking....."you don't even like wallflowers, you bought some last year as well and you didn't like them then" I guess it was just a brainstorm in a very poor GC!! In other words, there was nothing lemon better on offer!

9 Apr, 2010

 

I can't leave gaps, either - so I do sympathise. I hope they were the biennial ones so you're not stuck with them! :-((

9 Apr, 2010

 

It wouldn't make any difference B!! I've had the perennial ones before and they just got hauled out once they started making their scraggy seed heads! Yes, though, they are just the bedding ones so no guilt!

10 Apr, 2010

 

That's not nearly so bad, then - they're temporary fillers. LOL.

10 Apr, 2010

 

I just bought this yesterday Spritz, where do you find it's growing best?

11 Apr, 2010

 

In the sun, Grindle - I don't think it would be happy in shade. :-) Having said that, the pink one is under the willow tree, but the leaves aren't out yet, so only a 'very' little shade in the morning, sun most of the day.

11 Apr, 2010

 

thanks Spritz :)

12 Apr, 2010

 

Hope yours thrives! :-)))
