Is that Morning Glory at the back Dove? I've tried both and failed miserably. Heho. Plants for places. On the other hand I would just have brambles and buttercups if I didn't try.
It really does look great at the front of the house - no wonder you get comments
Dove, your wigwam must look glorious when the sun is on it- they have such bright faces. My first and last attempt at growing them here, and morning glories come to that. I seem to have ran out of year/sun and the BES have only just started flowering at about a metre high.
Yes, there's a Morning Glory wigwam there too. It's a new bed this year and I wanted something to give some height quickly while I was deciding what will live there permanently.
Not a very good pic - it's had many more blooms than this - and because it's west facing and only gets sun in the afternoon the blooms last all afternoon which is great.
I used a mixed pack of seeds, but if I do it again I'll just use deep purple and pink varieties - I find the white doesn't look right with them.

Love Lyn's Aster. Which kind is it?

Thanks Verdun

At last the Lisianthus is in flower; sowed seeds last Feb, potted on and read that it would be 70 days from potting on before it flowered.
This is the Fuschia I bought yesterday at West Acre; Fuschia Magellanica Alba
Verdun, will the Fuschia be ok in semi-shade with good drainage?
My camera doesn't do justice to the Lisianthus; it is very intense
Wow, stunning colour, beautiful Artjak
