     They look a bit like mine SP, it's a bit dark now but you get the idea, I still think they are pretty but like you, not what I expected.  I think I need to split the Lobelia that's with them a bit, it's grown quite a lot and you can't see the baby Monkey Puzzle Trees now image

    Our lobelia germinated but didn't get much further.



    Glad I'm not alone OL! They are pretty but I'm sure they aren't what they said on the packet!

    Where did you get them? I think mine were for Home Bargains? I'm going to look at the packet tomorrow.

    I though my Lobelia wasn't going to do anything so I'm quite impressed, I potted it in in clumps, as recommended by someone on here.  I love Lobelia, I've got my Busy Lizzie's to sort tomorrow image

    Those look like lovely French Marigolds to me Sweetpea image

    The big flowered ones are African Marigolds. Is this what you were expecting?  http://www.bhg.com/gardening/plant-dictionary/annual/african-marigold/
