    Ok, I only have one pic so far (and it was taken on the mobile phone), but I just had to share this stunning burgandy petunia! They are all coming into flower and are the large variety.

    Let's see your petunia pics :D

    It is very pretty- frilly doubles are all very well but I'm told they don't produce much pollen for insects. This one has the advantage of both [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    @Bobj, I usually get my bedding plants from Homebase, they are nearest; previous years I've mostly gone for the stripey ones or a mixed box. I like nemesia and lobelia too, didn't see any nemesia this year though, probably went too early.

    That pic does not show them at their best, the rain and wind last week did them no favours. I'll do a bit of tidying up and dead heading znd take another pic when they start to look better.
