Just back from the plot, and I have a flower - nearly.  It's sort of half unfurled - looks pretty, but not really very remarkable yet.  I'm hoping they'll be a bit more noticeable when they're properly out.  The ones that are flowering are in pots - the plants that I put in the border are still at the budding stage.

Do I win?  :)

Not until we see a picture to prove it.   ;) ;D

I suppose it is time that I started posting pictures on here.  Just have to find out where the five year old David Bailey has hidden the camera, and then buy new batteries cos he'll have been taken five hundred pictures of his feet.

It's either his feet or our bellies - I think I'd rather he stuck with his feet!

Still can't find the camera...

Oh I must tell you (going wildly off topic!)  The first of the Laurentia you gave me are out today and you will be pleased to know that they are indeed blue.   ;D

Greeted me when I came home from work yesterday.

Not the best of specimens, but it's a flower at last, and plenty more on the way.

I'm thinking not - I have lots more flowers but they're all like Ninnyscrops', and all the same colour too.  I was expecting lots of loveliness and various shades of pink and purple, but I've ended up with a very poor midget michaelmas daisy that seems to add as a slug lure.

Not bothering next year *humph*  :P
