    Cosmos Xanthus, small plants no seeds . And I'm Brazilian ( by adoption)...

    Everyone likes butterflies. Nobody likes caterpillars.

    Wakeshine, my 'exceeded expectations' plants tend to be due to self-seeders like toadflax and VB which enhance my effortsimage

    I agree B3 lol mine would probably be foxgloves, lupins and aquilegia self seeded lol. But there are so many great ones to make up for the disappointments.

    True, but sometimes it's the plants that are c**p. Just like when the cream doesn't get rid of wrinkles despite what 85% of the people paid to give an opinion said and the teenage bodyspray is named after a cat for a reason

    Oh I see B3 I just read back. You meant varieties which are just crap and disappointing.

    I know people who use that body spray lol.

    That was the original plan but I'm always happy to go with the flow, Wakeshine. Threads to me are like Pooh sticks; you drop them in and see where they go.image
