    Lovely pic MrsG. I haven't found that type of oxalis to be invasive. Just the opposite, I've lost one of them

    Verdun, I didn't know they have tubers, thought id be ok taking cuttings. oh help, cutting off ( no pun intended) more than I can chew I think - that's one reason I avoided dahlias! I've researched and formulated a cutting list for tomorrow, my usual plan is my garden lives or dies by my rules but this year I think I need to step up or  they'll get their revenge!

     And I'm also loving the long flowering of this pyhygelius, they are gorgeous from underneath / inside the flowers.

    , cuttings in front are growing well, they will be trained into 'lollipops' for autumn border, exciting stuff.

    I know this means trouble if those seeds get started (which they will), but isn't it lovely?

  • Morning all I thought I would post the star in my garden

    Now the images don’t really do this little plant any justice at all, It maybe small but you can see the flower at 500 yds it really stands out.

    On the page before the Bearded One mentioned African Blue Basil. Here is my African Basil that Lily Louise gave me when we visited her garden (NGS) when we were in England.
