Isn't it strange that an 'annual' plant survived, but not some shrubs and perennials!

8 Jun, 2010

 

Not your usual annual though is it? It's gorgeous! Did you plant hunt this one?

8 Jun, 2010

 

Nope - I grew some from seed last year, and also this year - but the new ones aren't in flower yet!

8 Jun, 2010

 

Great flower. Never seen a double anti....whatsit before!

They didn't germinate as easily as the 'ordinary' ones. I had to buy a second packet of seeds and use the propagator, then all was well.

Well persevered then! It was worth it for sure, and this colour will go with everything too.

When I first grew them two years ago, the colours were amazing - last year's weren't quite so varied for some reason, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this new lot. I much prefer them to 'Snapdragons'!

That is a beauty! Im growing them from seed just hope they are as good as this one!

8 Jun, 2010

 

They will be, Pp. The seeds are expensive, aren't they! My packet only had a few in it.....

Lovely flower....

I scoured the country for plants of these but to no avail :((( It will be seed next year, did you start them early ?

9 Jun, 2010

 

Yes, Grindle. I did spot plug plants in one of the catalogues - can't remember which, but I'll look on Friday.

thanks Spritz, I know we had this conversation yesterday :))

Are you back home? I hope the journey wasn't too difficult. It was lovely to see you again. :-))) Thanks for reminding me of the name of that plant! What an idiot I felt when I couldn't think of it. Grindle to the rescue! :-)))))))

LOL isn't it annoying when that happens, the times I try to find a name in my memory banks, and it just doesn't want to come out :(
It was lovely seeing you again too, I had a great visit and really enjoyed seeing your garden 'for real' it's beautiful.
I got back just before 6pm, nice easy ride home ;)

12 Jun, 2010

 

That was great! A really quick run. :-))) I hope you didn't break the speed limit! Tsk, tsk. lol.

Thats a beauty Barbara, great it survived to flower again. :o)

15 Jun, 2010

 

I still can't believe it! The new ones will be a lot later, of course, but at least I can admire this in the meantime. :-)

Grindle, it was T&M who had the plug-plants.
