..lovely sweet peas Victoria and beautifully presented I must say..
..and that' a nice driveway or roadside border there too..just above of Verdun's...I do love this type of planting for the frontage... I used to grow Linum narbonnense, the European equivalent of Linum perenne...although it didn't last too long in the border either..
....also saw Linum perenne growing in Nebraska during the hot summer there...so doesn't object to lots of heat...as it's a native of that region... native Indians would add the seeds to cooked foods, like seasoning as they are quite nutritious... it was also recorded by American explorers Lewis and Clark in July 1805... where they saw 'blue flax for several days'...whilst travelling through Montana...
...history lesson over..lol...I do like plants with a tale to them...
Lovely to see a bit of your borders Verdun. And love that blue (you know I'm a sucker for blue) - will investigate linum seeds for next year ..... I have just the spot!!

Mrs G., both are Lychnis, the white is L. coronaris, and the red/orange is L. chalcedonica. Shows the wide variety of species within a single genus.

Really like those painted daisies MrsGarden
