I'm always moving my pots around to experiment with various planting combinations. Pleased with these today. :) G x

gorgeous Georgie! I love moving my pots round too. ;D Very useful when one thing stops flowering or the foliage goes a bit sorry to able to move it. And lots of fun.
Aww thanks. ;D Like you say Emmy, it gives you so many more options when you grow your plants in containers and you can hide eyesores!

Pleased to see 'Lady Boothby' Georgie, a friend has just promised me seeds of hers but we weren't sure of the name. ;D

Ah right, first year of growing it as an alleged 'climber'. So far I'm impressed: beautiful leaf markings and already in bud from plug plants. Why are you getting seeds rather than cuttings?

Sorry.... misread it, thought the aquelgia was L. Boothby. Stoopid me ::)
Lovely photos Georgie. Glad you are pleased with Lady Boothby I remember when you sourced it, good result from plug plants. Now I know what Lychnis looks like!! KP sent me some Lychnis seeds but have a long way to go yet (I sowed seeds late) but hope I will still be OK.
Lorna.
Maggie the Aquilegia is McKana hybrids. :)
Thanks Lorna. There is more than one sort of Lychnis. The more usual ones have lovely grey, downy foilage and flowers in various shades from white to magenta. ;D

Aha, thanks Georgie, will pass that on.
