Spritzhenry's Outbox

You could if you looked in my flood wall, Fran! They've all flowered again. :-))

Yes, it's nasty in the wind, but not too bad out of it.

Brian, as they're new plants, I have no idea of their 'normal' flowering time. I was wondering when they should flower. Interesting that they're early. :-)

Thanks - I answered it! :-)

I suppose...

I tracked down some Pulmonarias last week, and bought three 'Raspberry Splash'. They're (obviously) pink ones, but not as lovely as the one Dd has.

Pagodas??? Err...did you live in a mansion with acres of garden, Ba? LOL. It all sounds like a Japanese garden...

Seriously, I like E. 'Pagoda' and I have two which are very reliable. :-)

I've given up trying, Ba. :-/

Ah, or Oh, I get it now. :-D)

Opal? Majestee?

I really must try to track down Dd's pink ones.

Why 'Oooh'?

No, they are supposed to flower in the winter, Ba. Honest!

I think I might have both of those, Ba. I hope the GCs start getting plants in SOON. At the moment, their shelves are very bare. :-(

They are similar, Vincent, but paler. My I. unguicularis are always later. I must look and see if I can see any buds appearing.

:-))

I do hope so - it's good that the days are getting longer, isn't it. :-))

Hmmmph!! Mind you, I think Brunneras might 'go' in my border, so thanks for mentioning them. :-)

Yuk! Poor you. We hardly ever get snow here, luckily - it lands on the hills!

Homebird, I do find that the I. histrioides ones are sturdier and last longer than I. reticulata as well as having pretty markings on the petals. I'd choose them if I were planting any more.

It does help, that's for sure. :-)

Thanks. :-) I'd like a raspberry pink one like Dd's. Can't remember its name. :-/

Typical! I was thinking of planting some in the new area where the Escallonia came out, but it's too early for GCs to have them in stock.
