Ah! I know it as Tropicana Black but I think they are one and the same perki.
I agree with you about alp.....
I could use a decent camera myself. What camera alp?

 

Good afternoon, Perki.. My cameras are no good. Samsung has a lot of pixels, but change the orange of Trollius to yellow... and my panny hasn't got enough pixels and loses details. @longk has some stunning photos, and it might be a good idea to ask @longk. First we need one that can do lovely close ups, also enough pixels and details. I would go for Canon or Nikon. As soon as you've got a new camera, do a colour test, is yellow really yellow and see if you can capture the red in that J anemone on a day with good light. I also want a decent camera and will test it with my son's iphone when he's home long enough for me to take a snap or two.

Hehe! I agree @Verdun you do need a new camera your gardener will look PERFECT or specimen garden if you upgrade your camera.. Is your camera as old as you?

Oh, @Perki , I miss your borders!

 

@Logan That's going to make a nice dessert!

 

I bought Canna australia this year from hart canna, it does look very similar.
I put some pics on in a bit Alp, I just have to take loads of pictures to get a few half decent.

 

Relief at last...No.3 son has just woken up and is....FINE

Thanks for bearing with me everyone.

But in my joy ,my heart is with those that have not received such happy news today

 

Wonderful upsy

 

@Verdun

@Upsydaisy that's great news

@alp Thanks

 

What a relief, @Upsydaisy ! Why was he so hard to get hold of this morning then? Didn't he know you would be worried?

@Perki , so nice to hear from you.. It's hard to take good photos - sometimes, I fiddle .. hehe!

 

Fantastic pictures all, full of colour. Verd, does Totally Tang have a neater upright habit than Mrs Bradshaw?

 

Mark, for me it is "neater" yes . Far and away the best geum I think with a tendency to flower and flower and flower

 

@Verdun I will keep an eye out for this.

 

Just googled .. What a lovely plant ..

 

I grow 3 acteas....James Compton, Brunette and Black Negligee. All superb plants making large architectural black/purple/brown specimens AND they produce spikes of scented flowers in late summer

 

'Black Negligee' sounds very sexy .. haha!
