I love Echinops -They buzz with bees on their globe flowers and add height to a boring border. The blue is vivid though the leaves can be very rough. If cut down you after flowering there can be a second flush in the autumn.
F- Got my first Fritillary this year, love them. Fuchsia, have a few bush and some to do a basket, also now just starting to do a standard, with the help of Brumbull.

Nut-everyone's admiring the plants but the moth pic is stunning!
And I've always disliked moths because they invaded my bedroom as a child-big ones with horns and allsorts!

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I love moths. We run moth traps here in the summer and get some amazing species. Some you'd never see without trapping.

Well it has to be fuchsia. Both hardy and blousey, but I haven't any pics except off Mr Google. Only just rekindling my interest.

Fritillaria meleagris - definitely in my top 10 of favourite plants
And ferns are great - I'm amazed when I see them growing inside drains and other unusual places!
I have discovered today that the fritillary I planted have come through, there are buds but no flowers as yet
Oh FloBear how could I forget Ferns?
That's a nice collection Bev
