..those Aubergines that Lilylouise posted above look like my top half... well, different colour.. very nice too, I wonder if they're difficult to grow...
I love Aconitum's too, and back in the day we never knew about the poison.. used to handle them without gloves.. still here... best to be safe though...
Alliums were mentioned earlier, here is Allium oreophyllum, quite dainty little things, like open ground...
Am I right in saying that they do really well in the shade? I have a bed in front of my workshop that gets very little sun. Would it survive there do you think?
Well those ones I grew from seed (Roma)....when they set seed this year I'll collect them and send them straight away to anyone who wants them. They're best sown fresh into something like JI No 1 with grit on top in a little pot and dumped into a cold frame and forgotten about for about 6 months!
here's another one...I think it's called 'snowball' not managed to grow any of these from collected seed (yet)
