    Ive got some freesia coming through which i got as corms as a freebie with a t&m order, but they are no where near flowering.  I did buy a plant which had been brought on they look stunning.

    I think this is a penstemon, a tiny one, I bought it at a plant fair last year and it hadn't got a label when i got it home

    Anyone know what it is?

    Nut, could it be a phygelius or cape fuschia?

     

    I´m not sure, but it looks like a young Russelia to me (they grow a lot if they

    I'll see if I can get a better photo tomorrow rusflorum. The flowers are very like a tiny penstemon but I'm not good at close ups. Whoever took your pic is better and I can see it's not that. Does that make sense image

    Verd the buds are just starting to show colour on Black Dragon and they do look really black. I bought another Night Owl,  really deep purple which I love, and they are at the same stage as BD but definitely lighter so I'm looking forward to seeing it when it opens properly.

    Took a pic of some of my pots today

    Thank you Verdi. That Iris is actually just tucked in behind the Ligularia just now as it's still in it's little plastic pot so it gets a bit of support in case it's windy. Molly Sanderson was getting a bit limp, despite a bit of shade from the bigger pots, because it's been so hot but it'll appreciate the cooler temp today. Believe it or not that pot the Ligularia's in isn't terracotta - it's a resin one. Realistic isn't it? Still quite heavy. Wasn't dear- I got 3 of them for £30 at B&Q  with the 3 for 2 offer if you have their discount card. image

    fairygirl, the pots looks very realistic, would not have known, had you not mentioned it.
