Post by: Carol on June 12, 2007, 23:36:59
Took these pics yesterday.  Despite my garden being in a mess some of the flowers at the moment are quite beautiful.

As others have said - wish my garden was this messy!

Tim - think that last pic is Cerinthe major purpurascens?

Cheers,
Rob ;)

Thanks for your kind comments.  I didn't know what the plant was, so thanks for the info.  I just know it self seedss and it has walked round my conservatory ground.  Started at one end and is now in the middle.  It has been flowering for quite some time now, its straggly but colourful.

 Lovely flowers Carol.

My lupin hasn't come up this year  :(. It got hammered by lupin aphids last year and must've given up the ghost.

I really like cerinthe but mine gets a sort of spotty mildew on it.  Mine has also been flowering all winter! Cut it back twice already.
