Although I spend most of my garden time growing veg, I do have a few flowerbeds that look after themselves. One of them is full of belle de nuit (French name) that flowers in the evening. The more common ones are either rose-red or yellow. But a few years ago I found a 'variegated' one, which has the most beautiful flowers, just as if they have been individually painted. I keep the seeds from year to year, although here in SW France they come up from old roots, and also they self-seed some years.
I'm going to try to put in some photos, but not sure if it will work 'cos I'm vot very good at this!

They're fabulous!

As I leave the flower garden completely to my other half I don't think I know anything about them.

How big are the flowers? Is that an A4 sheet of paper you have photographed them on?
Are they frost hardy perennials? (they don't look it)

You cant? :o

What have you been and gone and done to your PC? They are as clear as ~~mud~~ day on my old crate bless it. :)

:) It just says Photo bucket this picture has been moved or deleted.
I often see that on old posts so I guess they have an expiry date???

Any ideas? :-\

I thought it was just me ;) ;D.

Well I know my PC is knocking on but I can see the pics clear as day so it might well be the setting on your browser... (he says sounding confident and knowledgeable but not having a huge amount of faith in that response should you ask for more detail or say, "what do you mean?")

Perhaps you two have longer wires and the petals have wilted along the way? ::)

Well we are a bit further away ;D ;D ;D
Browser settings ::)

the OP has posted images on photobucket but has moved them or renamed them or something - so we cant see em.
The reason some of you can see them is because you visisted the page earlier and you have them stored in your browsers cache (the browser by default stores copies of images and other files to make repeat visits quicker..) After a while they will get deleted from the cache.

Probably!

Well that all makes sense- thanks BN,- but then Adenrollers reply made sense to me as well ;D ;D ;D

Sorry, everyone, I think it must be my fault! I'm new to Photobucket, and decided I didn't want to leave my photos on the public 'domain' there, so having posted them, later the same day I removed them from Photobucket, now realising that that means that they disappear from this site too, don't see why they should though. I've not time to put them back now, but will do so this evening. I assume I'll have to upload them all over again, and post them anew on A$A, grrrr!

Hoping this will work this time! Not sure if these are even the same photos, but they are still amazingly beautiful. I take so many photos of them!
The ones on paper are a selection of the different 'designs' I picked one day, and put on a sheet of A4
hope these will now be visible. And I'll leave them on Photobucket this time!

Still having some trouble obviously! I'll try again. I'll downsize it a little, in case that is the problem

How beautiful. Would they have to be grown indoors in the UK?
