Ceanothus??

Didn't realise the more exotic aquis would self-seed  - must get some. We only have the ones in No.2 pic. = Tim

Lovely EJ.

Lost my Ceanothus this year to the frosts.

Gets a bit cold up here in the gods.

Beautiful, EJ, love the idea of
QuoteI just wander thru in the sping yanking out the ones that are in the wrong place.
- playing God(dess) with the aquilegias!!  Maybe if my double frilly aquilegias ever reach maturity I'll be able to do that next year.  Still no sign of the blues  germinating but the pinks are ready for potting on.

think I just might have room for another shrubby bush - ceanothos looks great.

Absolutely beautiful EJ :)  Green with envy at the ceanothus.  Never been successful in growing them :(  Particularly like the chinese foxglove - what a stunning flower.
