Pleased to report that there is still plenty of colour in the garden today, even though we are still suffering dought conditions here in the South East. G x

Garlic chives - only grow them for the flowers!

Liriope Muscari - now thriving since I learnt to water it with rain/boiled water

Verbena Hybrida - found this hard to grow from seed but think the flower is worth it

Lychnis - a new plant for me this year

Lovely colours Georgie. I particularly like the colour of the Verbena.

Thanks Lorna. I love the colour of the Verbena too but I won't be growing it again. It's not scented like it said on the packet and it's prone to powdery mildew too. :(

they look great G :) you're lucky to have colour still, we have very little colour now and have lost a few plants this year to the drought.

Georgie · « **Reply #7 on:** September 09, 2006, 19:04:46 »

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that Leonnie. :'(

I've just taken a peep at your gallery and you have some lovely pics there. I particularly like that very dark Aquilegia, what vaiety is it please?

I'm not sure what variety it is G but I saved some seed which I might have laying about somewhere. If I can find them I'll send you some in return for the honesty seed you sent me. :)

Here's a few more pics taken today. :) G x

The sunny border continues to flourish

Osteospernum

The Morning Glory has gone mad this year

Passiflora

Sedum

Georgie. I think I have slaughtered my passiflora. Last year it had loads of flowers. I cut it back and although it has grown again not one flower has appeared.

I thought they responded well to hard pruning, Lorna, so I don't know what could have gone wrong. I've saved some seeds from mine this year, would you like some?

lorna · « **Reply #17 on:** September 15, 2006, 21:52:20 »

Yes please Georgie. It looked so good last year against the back of the garage. I am sure I took advice about pruning so can't understand. Thanks,

Georgie · « **Reply #18 on:** September 15, 2006, 22:00:10 »

Right oh, I'll pop some in the post when thay have dried out. :)

Your Morning Glories are stimply stunning Georgie. I think my paler ones are very pretty, but that deep purple to almost black is just gorgeous.
