    Looking good, Hostafan.
     Is it outdoors and how old is the plant?

    I bought it about 18 months ago and it's been outside all winter. 
    It's monocarpic, ( I think ) so I must remember to collect seed )
    Devon.


  • Chicken & leek pie anyone ... form an orderly queue ... but OH says you’ll have to get past him 😉 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    How many seeds will it yield.😇

    Lovely pic LG  :)
    ....and a lovely day here too. I sat outside for my lunch, and even took my fleece off. It got to about 15 in the sun. We don't usually get that kind of temp till about May. We've had some lovely days recently but it's been windy, so not overly warm. 
    Did a bit of titivating, potting on, and tidying/painting outside instead of tidying and painting inside. Compost put down around emerging plants, and removed some dead  foliage from round pasqueflowers and other plants.  The little female blackie was quite happy eating her apple just a few feet away from me too. Good times  :)

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I suspect my 18° might have been too hot for you, FG ;). We've got the same tomorrow, then it cools off / clouds over a bit. Took my brother outside the hospital for some sun at 4pm today, in just a gown, and the weirdness of doing this in February without even thinking of putting a blanket over him struck me.

    Brum was great thanks LG ....really nice day, sandwiched in between two long drives.  Retrieved littlest chicklet’s passport from her, and that has now been sent off for renewal.  Next time she needs a new one she’ll be 30, and can sort it out herself 😉

    Great weather here again today ....anyone would think the climate was changing or something 🤔

    It is a bit worrying, isn't it? But so difficult not to revel in the moment.

    I'm doing the same with Bow's passport at the moment, except I think she's got one more 5 year one to go. Did you notice the bit about needing 6 months left on a passport to travel to Europe in the event of no deal?

    Just watching the last couple of University Challenges before bed. Night all.

    It’s already a bit too warm here. Expecting 30 something. The weather channel said we are in for another heat wave.😡 Where is autumn?
