Another lovely collection of flower photos. I'm envious, my floral display in the garden is not up to standard this year - health problems with  my pacemaker

I don't have any seeds as such as these plants were sown teens of years ago and keep coming up year on year.

Perhaps I can save some seeds from the plants when the flowers are spent!

I did have a blue/ purple one as well but it hasn't flowered yet will take a picture if and when it does!

I will let you know if I am successful in saving some seeds.

I have marked the white one to enable me to keep the seeds from each of the plants separated, not that this really matters as most plants do not always come true to the parent. I will do the same with the other plant when it flowers.

Watch this space...Tg

How lovely! I do regret sometimes not having a garden in which to grow flowers. The lottie is limited to a hollyhock, a rose bush, marigolds and some irises, as well as the herbs that flower!
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com
