Rodgy -no probs re that new Iris of mine - I think I might have to investigate a bit to get it's name, but I'm not too bothered. It's so beautiful I don't care what it's called! I only like the old roses that are all velvety and crumpled like paeonies, but I've never really had any. Might try a few though- climbers possibly.
Don't recall Jacob's L being scented either! Verd - I'd only have the white one now if I bought it- don't like blue flowers...what am I like!
I'm loving little Viola 'Mollie Sanderson' just now- so black with a little yellow eye
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I have just braved the pouring rain to make sure I not madder than I thought I was! After burying my nose into my JL, I have decided that yes I am happy to announce it does have a very pleasant, although I will admit light, fragrance!
Also the lupin loves the rain, it is starting to flower.
I'm a bit disapointed with my wisteria flowers I must admit, on the label when I bought it it showed lovely blue mauve flowers, it didn't flower for about 3 yrs now I get quite long tails of pale lilac and whiteish flowers that are quite spaced
It could be my soil type as to why its not as blue I suspect.
Rodgy-dodge, several times I've bought plants that aren't the colour it says on the label. I suspect tht customers take out the labels to read them and put them back in the wrong pot. Though nowadays the labels are more attached than they used to be. Here is another rose that I love, the Pilgrim, may have shown it before, can't remember.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
BL your roses are lovely, Dove I just wish I had some shade to grow something like that. The irises are smashing too, my current fav is my unknown rose that has heavy scent
