Thanks Pimms and Denise..I do like blue flowers..I will have a look at both your suggestions :o)
........Mine spread,Lil..but they are the smaller headed ones..a bit bigger than chives....yours looks to have a larger head..sorry,not sure if yours will spread..there I go,getting your hopes up :o)

I have had them 3 years now and have not found they spread, but they are reliable every year.

She's rambling again Lil..Back in Scarlet O'hara mode...It was probably that BBQ the other day set her off. ;)

Lol.....don't you be slagging my friend there Pimp. Nothing wrong with a woman having a bit of a ramble, especially after a party.
Scarlet O'hara mode....like that ;))) I myself adopt a Dramatic Annie persona.

I could have been in a worse mode,Pimms...Calamity Jane maybe? ..mmm,maybe more fitting for me I think...:o) ..and thanks for sticking up for me,Lil...my new best friend :o)
I won't mention Rhett Butler then...:o) !
How come we started off on miniature Alliums ???

6 Jun, 2012

 

We always use gardening as a ruse Bloomer to go off onto different tangents :) and no prob BFF :))
Actually come to think of it, Pimp could be Rhett :)))
