Hi Emma. Remember the three little Pulmonaria cuttings you sent me earlier this year? Well I lost two, but look at this beauty which is in a 12" pot. Thank you so much ;D G x

Oh wow Georgie, that looks lush! If you want anymore, I owe you for all the different seeds you have sent me in the past so give me a shout. You wait until spring when they start flowering. Mine get mildew directly after flowering so I cut them back hard and get a flush of lovely new growth within days. Like hairy hostas! ;D
Hi Emma, over the weekend i shall put a photo on of the Cardoon you sent me we almost lost it 3 times but its a fighter.

You don't owe me anything, you're always sending me bits and bobs. ;D Thanks for the tip about cutting back after flowering, mine are bound to get mildew too. :(

They're lovely 8) I like their common name of 'Soldiers and Sailors' - the pink and blue of the flowers. If anyone would like any more of these variagated leaved pulmonarias, give me a shout..I've got them everywhere in my garden - nice leaf in the summer and a welcome bit of colour in spring :)
Yes Please Lish, mine have disappeared for the second time and I just love them in the spring. Will pm you in hope. ;D
Plants arrived this am. :o Now that's fast, assuming they were posted yesterday. Thanks alot Lish, and thank you Georgie for posting this thread in the first place ;D
YEP! They were posted yeaterday 8) Hope that Rosebud and Lorna's S&S's also arrived today?
If anyone else wants some, please PM me....in the next month I'll be thinning mine down and getting rid of barrowloads full of them..

Thank you Lish. Hope you got my thank you mail.

For the Hardy Plant Society Conservation scheme I am growing Pulmonaria rubra 'Rachel Verme'. Leaves have a white/cream edge and the flowers are orange. Nice plant but I wish it was more vigorous, it grew well last year but hardly survived this year.
