Whats this comming through the Asparagus
« on: October 03, 2007, 19:32:55 »
Anyone know what the small blue flower is ? Its about 6" tall and has 4 pure blue petals with a white centre.

(ignore the needle like leaves and the red berries of the asparagus.)



And the leaves ...

Looks like lobelia to me??? Maybe you had some seeds in your compost?

I agree. I may be a bit on the old fashioned side, but I think every hanging basket needs a bit of trailling lobelia. ;D

Magic welcome from me too.

I also have lobelia in little places through the garden. I don't know where it has come from. The little splashes of blue looks really nice. I just leave it do it's thing.
