@Fire .... its the colours in the pictures that usually trap me into buying them but this year I free lots of annuals from seed to add pops of colour. Zinnia, cosmos and stocks and planted them amongst the bed of perennials. It worked really well so it's wacky zinnia for next year. Queen red lime are the seeds I've got so far. @Pdoc...I was totally seduced by those iris! @Dove did a series of iris pictures in pastel i believe when i was a teen, similar colours... took me right back to my teens.... like with your bright taste in clothes! Hope you still wear them!!!
Gorgeous plant. Anyone else finding that the changing climate is having odd effects on their hellebores? My orientalis hybrids are loving it and have loads of flowers. But the x ericsmithii hybrid 'Winter Moonbeam', which did really well to start with, almost got wiped out by several really dry Mays in a row.
In the same series as Glenda, I have 'Sally's Shell', only a little plant with one flowering stem so far, but destined for greatness... I hope.
My hellebores have been very droopy during our dry summer, so I’ve tried to water them as much as I could. I hope they get better when fully established.
