Title: Bit more colour - Magpie, one from you here!
Post by: Mrs Ava on June 05, 2005, 17:02:28
Couple more doing the do.

Geum 'Mrs Bradshaw'
Pinks just coming - seed grown so no idea on names.
Damsels in distress all over the garden.  Well, not in distress, just taking advantage of the pond.
And these were seeds from MagpieDi.  Just bursting open everywhere, and all different!  ;D

another pink has opened.  This one is called Suffolk pink I think.

I like the way the fescue grass is now flowering around this spikey thing whose name I can't remember.

And the poppy opened Tim!

And I found this flowering in a tiddly little pot up on my compost heap.  I must plant it!!!

The damsel is a male Ishnura elegans; I assume you have a pond or canal nearby as they like stagnant or slow-flowing water.

Hi EJ  ;D

Beautiful photos, love the damselfly. Thanks for the marigold pic too.   :-*   D'you mean the bees were at them last year then ?   Sorry if they haven't all come true. Hope you're not too disappointed with a mixture.

We have a pond Robert with a stream flowing into it.

Not at all dissapointed Di, infact, they all look great together. Such good colours.  Will be saving my own seeds to see what I can come up with!
