    It looks "punchy", has an impact, if you will.

    Thank you Littleorme Its a Perennial Wallflower In its second year,I have the Blue and a Yellow/Red Species:)
    Less familiar are the perennial wallflowers such as 'Bowles' Mauve' and its lesser known relative 'Bowles' Yellow'. These are beautiful and floriferous, woody-stemmed small shrubs. :)

    I don't know if you followed the thread "My Garden", but if you did you'll know that this is year 2 for me and my good lady. Last year was all about trying to get some structure and shape in the garden. A lot of planting has been done and hopefully it'll start to look 'something like' this year. Amazing what difference a few months can make. Looking forward to seeing yours as it flourishes this year, especially the roses :thumb: Cheers...freddy.
