I wish I could dig one up for you - but I can't tell one from t'other at the moment! I'll put a reminder next to the plant for next spring.

Yup - you won't be disappointed in it! :-)) I think you'll have to wait until next spring to find a plant at the GCs, though - unless you're very lucky.

I know, Jac - I wasn't saying that at all. However, there are still gardening topics for the winter months! Lots! And don't forget that we have members all over the world, and their gardens will be waking up when ours are dozing....lol.

I love seeing the unusual (to me) flowers and plants from their gardens, don't you?

It's one of those that sends out loooooonnnggg flowering stems, Jac - a rambling geranium!! lol.

I've just googled your Dicentra to get its full latin name - no luck. Do you happen to know it, Angie? I want to look for it by mail order - if I can't see it in the GCs next time I go.

Definitely! :-))

Mind you - there's another geranium that's double that I've been admiring in an Esssex garden.........hint, hint! LOL.

You could say that, Angie! LOL.

I think I'm one of the few 'surviving' early members, and I've seen soooooo many changes since I joined! Most of them have been excellent, to our advantage as a group of gardeners, for that's what we all joined for, didn't we? We can also have a laugh and a chat, and I've made really good friends on GOY and learned a lot on the way - so thank you, P&A.

However, I am sad that the site now has to have filters - it seems to have moved in diverse directions - I would hate the central gardening focus to be lost.

Ajay - you say 'a certain number of non-gardening blogs from regular members' - could you please tell us what you mean by that? It might reassure me. I am feeling a bit confused.

They're mostly dried up and disappearing now, Sandra - so I shan't bother to pull them out. Henry doesn't like mushrooms so he won't eat them - thank goodness! Can you imagine him staggering around seeing cats that weren't really there? lol

I've never been able to name any of mine! Did yours come with a label, Pitta?

The two of them growing together look good, though.

This one doesn't set seed, Jacque - shame. And it's got a PBR on it, as well!

No, I don't, Angie - but I have treated myself to a new book on Geraniums - so I will have a read and get back to you.

Thanks - and welcome to GOY, Princessal84!

I shall grow these again next year - they've really done well! :-)

About an inch high? That's the road-type gravel, to give you an idea - not horticultural gravel.

I have a perennial one, and I wouldn't recommend it, pretty though it is - the stems are VERY brittle, and just walking past brushing against it will snap a piece off!

Errr - Angie - the other Angiea who asked the question said it HADN'T been repotted????? Did you mis-read it?

I've got some seeds to try to grow this. I hope I succeed! :-)

Cuphea???

I bet there are more leaves now!
