    Hi CharlieBot... I just love your pampas grass :wub2:

    We have just travelled back from our Spanish holiday home driving up through France and the area was just covered in lovely pampas grass... may I ask it is easy to control as I am thinking of trying to get my hands on some for the garden? :)

        Sulking...... that's an understatement lol............... I think they have also spat their dummies out, thrown away all their leaves and decided to go bare for when I get back...

          Sorry Anthony, my garden is pretty much shut down for the winter months because of the climate here, but give it a couple of weeks and I'll have some Pansy pictures. :)

              Lots of plants have flowered several times over the year when they were only supposed to flower once.

              The Clematis Armandii in my Acer Brilliantissimum has flowered at least 4 times this year and is flowering now.
              [​IMG]
              As is the Kerria Japonica which has flower several times this
              [​IMG]
              And the Mahonia Japonica has flowered several times this year too
              [​IMG]
              The Primroses are out again

              That includes the Choisya

                Yes, they are, Sheal. This Choisya flowers normally about a week later than my Osmanthus delavayi so I sit in the Arbour which is in between both of them, with a glass of the red stuff, and the air is just full of scent from the both of them..........perfect!!:snork:

                  Hi Sheal,
                  They have a beautiful scent. Do you know what Orange Blossom smells like ? They're like that.
                  It always reminds me a little bit of old fashioned Pinks.

                    Not sure, as they like Sun or partial shade. You might try the old trick of feeding it some Tomato Feed in early Spring.:dunno::heehee:
