    Hi poppy I'm sure that it's a weakness all us mad gardeners share ! image 

    On a similar note:::::

     On a day off this week, went to a wild life park ,I took some photos of the animals .....but what attracted me just as much were the phormiums set out in the beds.too photos and drooled how I could do the same back in our garden, phormiums being my latest thing  along with ornamental grasses.

    There was some tall white and cream grass I'm trying to find out what it is and a smaller grass cream with a thin striped green edge  which I'm after too !

    Or rather on the cadge for some seedimage.....

    Sounds like you had a good day out P&Wpoopy,  anyway primrose in the post image

  • Glad it isn't just me then image.

    Ok, I'll list all of the packets of seed I have here.

    If anyone wants anything, drop me a PM with your name & address.

    I will be sowing a bit of most of these for myself, so most packets will be open. But, as I won't need e.g. all of the 200 Teasel seeds in the packet, I'm happy to pass on what's left image.

    A. Unbranded seed bought from Lidl - they had an offer on of 5 packets for £1.

    1.  Sweet William.

    2. Carnations. (x 2 packets)

    3. Strawflower (Helichrysum bracteatum).

    4. Zinnia - Dahlia Flowered Mix.

    5. Zinnia - Liliput Mix.

    6. China Aster - American Mix (Callistephus chinensis).

    7. Pansies - Early flowering F1 hybrids.

    8. Flowering Maple (Abutilon hybridum).

    9. Busy Lizzies - A mix of the standard self coloured whites, pinks, lilacs and reds. No variety specified. (x 2 packets).

     

    B. Unwins - Nature's Haven.

    1. Cranesbill Geranium.

    2. Achillea - Cloth Of Gold.

    3. Teasel  - Winter Bouquet.

     

    C. Mr Fothergill's - Bought from RSPB Shop - Selected by RSPB to attract wildlife.

    1. Coreopsis (Tickseed).

    2. Flax (Linum) - Scarlet.

    3. Globe Thistle.

    4. Millet (Setaria italica).

    5. Valerian.

     

    D. Suttons - Wildlife Sanctuary.

    1. Achillea - Summer Berries Improved.

    2. Antirrhinum - F1 Madame Butterfly Mix.

    3. Bergamot.

    4. Borage.

    5. Coreopsis - Roulette.

    6. Cosmea (Cosmos) - Sensation Tall Mix.

    7. Evening Primrose - Sunset Boulevard.

    8. Field Scabious.

    9. Foxglove - These are the wild, purple variety.

    10. Ox-Eye Daisy.

    11. Wild Primrose.

    12. Rudbeckia - Indian Summer.

    13. Salvia Farinacea - Victoria.

    14. Verbena - Purple Elegance (flower on front of packet looks like V.bonariensis).

    15. Wallflower - Persian Carpet.

    N.B. Most of these packets of seed are still unopened, but I will be sowing a few of each for my own garden. Most of the wildflower seeds have 100+ in each packet, so I'm happy to share because I don't need that many for my small garden image.

    I'll do the next list in a separate post.

    Perki, That's great thank you. Are they standard yellow primroses or some of the different coloured varieties ? (I worked at a plant nursery a few years ago. Loved the colour combinations of the primrose varieties they grew there. P. Wanda was one of my favourites image).
