Title: Clumb of Lupins
Post by: Carol on June 23, 2005, 13:54:07
I do not have much trouble, if any, with slugs/snails so here is a pic of a clump of our lupins.

both lovely.

I can send you some of my snails if you like! I have far too many, it's just not fair of me to keep them all!

Carol the mystery plant is Kaffir lily.  I had some last year I think it was from Pat  a.k.a gardengirl.  Didn't she win some great prizes with her exhibitions of them last year??

Thanks, so its a Kaffir Lilly.  Didnt know they survived in Ponds.  A company cleared our pond out last year and think they must have put it there!!!  Its lovely eh?


Now slugs an Snails.  Well I must get some, but they dont bother much, if at all and I have at least 20 Hostas  all untouched.  In fact our Hostas are quite magnificent this year.  Oooo  dear  hope the local slugs are not reading this!!!
