Pleased with my delphinium's survival PIX
« on: June 11, 2009, 02:07:40 »


I've always admired your British gardens with huge stands of delphiniums.  These don't seem to do well in our area due to heat and humidity but this one, germinated last year had some small blooms but this year, twice the size!  A prettier one with the white bee didn't survive.
The handle on your recliner does not qualify as an exercise machine.

They are one of my favourite flowers, but i gave up trying to grow them , i have 3 different colours now all bought i`m afraid, but they are beautifull.
When we moved i brought one of my beautifull very dark blue ones with us & it has sulked ever since i am still trying with it 2yrs on, VERY tempremental plants it seems. ;D ;D.
