    Fidgetbones -  is the first Roscoe also from Crug farms ? I have purple and white but remember you saying earlier that you had bought a new pink one.

    Lovely pictures everyone, nice bedding Sonny. Cupani sweet pea my favourite must remember to get some more seeds.  

    I like the climbing aconitum VC is that all growth from this year? the astrantia lovely

    the Aconite looks like Aconitum Hemsleyanum. ( please say if I'm wrong VS , I am wrong often )

    herbaceous so dies down then shoots all the way up again each year.

    Devon.
  • Hi Perki, yes, Hostafan is correctimage

    It's in its second year, maybe 3 years old as I bought it as a 9cm pot. It's slightly bigger than last year but is a very successful plantimage

    I can collect seeds if you'd like some Perki?

    Wearside, England.

    That's really lovely Vic - never seen that before. Would that be hardy up here?

    Love the astrantia too. Considering one of the dark ones for one of my borders.

    Those roscoeas are absolutely beautiful fidget

    Some terrific sets of pix on here  image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
