..the only grow light I know of is daylight, so I'm afraid I wouldn't be of much use - it all sounds a bit technical there... but wish you well with this Stephanie...
meanwhile, I hope this little bowl of Camellia's cheers the soul and brighten's someone's day...
I've probably posted this before but it is the season...
Clematis 'Ice Blue' - this is expensive to buy in the Garden Centre, one of the so called 'Bouelvard' hybrids. I am finding that it may not be very hardy and fear I may have lost it... or at least it's been cut right down and there is no sign of early growth - it only flowers in May/June in any case - just a word of warning there - we do get taken in by these plants I think... sometimes..
Cleome Violet Queen (or violent queen as I like to call it...) first grew cleomes years ago on the Beeb MB website and have grown it most years ever since.
what a gorgeous Cleome 'Violet Queen', I remember seeing it at Wisley some years ago. I used to grow Cleome's and really must do so again, a bit thorny but easy from seed and quite startling I think.
Cosmos is another... 'Purity' I used to have.. Must revisit these.... thank you
stephani3; I'll say it again - your link doesn't work!
Plants beginning with 'C' hmm.. so many more than those beginning with 'B'
Carrots! I love growing them and I love even more defeating the carrot root fly.
Cauliflowers; I've grown them once but they were tiny, then the neighbour who gave me the seedlings told me (several months later) that they were designed to be tiny!
Courgettes, easy and fun to grow (I'm sensing a vegetable theme here)
Grew Cucumbers for the first time last year and was suprised to find them...well... odd; they were sort of warty on the skin, but I was told by younger and wiser people that that is how home grown cucumbers look.
^I'm sure they were very nice. Cucurbits, isn't that the term..? also applied to Melons and suchlike...
..this is a delightful little Cistus.. obtusifolius 'Thrive' is it's correct title... unlike many others it flowers all summer into autumn, always producing these lovely cheerful flowers. A small compact plant I think, suitable for hotter dryer areas... I hope it spreads out a bit, I think it will... also proving very hardy...

stephani3 - you are certainly tenacious in trying to get your survey filled in!
I'm still planning on doing my 'A' - you are getting ahead of me! Tomorrow hopefully - there's not enough veg on this thread!
^Curly Kale...? supposed to be nice...

I like Dahlia's make nice pots and containers for the front door and windows.
Help! It's all going too fast for me!
