Just back from the plot, and I have a flower - nearly.  It's sort of half unfurled - looks pretty, but not really very remarkable yet.  I'm hoping they'll be a bit more noticeable when they're properly out.  The ones that are flowering are in pots - the plants that I put in the border are still at the budding stage.

Do I win?  :)

Not until we see a picture to prove it.   ;) ;D

You know, I'm not sure it's really my thing, this competition lark...



(sob!)

I suppose it is time that I started posting pictures on here.  Just have to find out where the five year old David Bailey has hidden the camera, and then buy new batteries cos he'll have been taken five hundred pictures of his feet.

Wonderful stuff Greenstar, our son's speciality at that age was chins  ;D

It's either his feet or our bellies - I think I'd rather he stuck with his feet!

Still can't find the camera...

I have one! I have one! I thought they'd all died but I HAVE ONE LEFT!

;D ;D ;D

I have a grand total of two but neither have any flower buds yet.   >:(

Flower buds? I dream of this one getting to that stage.  :-\

Oh I must tell you (going wildly off topic!)  The first of the Laurentia you gave me are out today and you will be pleased to know that they are indeed blue.   ;D

Look at me!  I have flower buds now too!

Won't ask you for photographic evidence! My buds are sooooooo small my camera can't see them  ;D

Greeted me when I came home from work yesterday.

Not the best of specimens, but it's a flower at last, and plenty more on the way.

Thank you for the seed Cefer  :)

Oh my, ten points to Nins.  But was it worth it?   :-\  ;D

I'm thinking not - I have lots more flowers but they're all like Ninnyscrops', and all the same colour too.  I was expecting lots of loveliness and various shades of pink and purple, but I've ended up with a very poor midget michaelmas daisy that seems to add as a slug lure.

Not bothering next year *humph*  :P

Oh!   :(
