SHOW US YOUR PURCHASES 2020

Ah ! Never mind .I got good value for me money by the time I'd left .

Also met a lasting friend and got a lot of info from them in more than one way.

No computers in them days!

I suppose by joining, that's what got me intrested in painting bearded iris.

 

Yes when I've got them out of the loft, and found out how to get them on here ,but they are nothing special

I think that I take photos, put them in documents and go from there,do I ?

Gosh what a fantastic selection @ARMANDII !!! , I love every single one. I really love Echinacea and Rudbeckia, they are among my favourite plants and I'm planning on having more of them next year Especially like the Double Decker one.

 

I do have or had Echinacea double decker I have a look tomorrow its was mixed in with some magus variety's , to be honest its better in pictures than in the flesh in my opinion just looks rather odd and not as nice as the picture shows, I believe its a mutation of magus. E.Cheyenne could be any colour and I am a bit sceptical on its life span , wild berrries is supposed to be a good small variety. I've not grown or come across the others.

 

Just had a quick look outside ( got wet ) the echinacea have nearly finished flowering so can't tell , but I have got a glimpse of one earlier this year on a picture looks like the last one though .
Pic from 2018 show you have the flower on top form

 

@ARMANDII I read ( or heard somewhere,not sure which) that Echinacea need to be divided every couple of years, if not they begin to bloom less. I have one that use to flower well but this year it hardly put on a show at all and when it did the blooms didn't last long. I am going to divide it and see if things improve or not. I think it's about 3 or 4 years old now.

 

Yesterday T'other Half bought me a Calathea "Blue Grass" for the Jungle Room. Had a large-leaf one many years ago but it got too much sun!

 

For members who have or perhaps might be developing an interest in Irises. There is a garden website. Garden.org It's got a very good picture database for those interested.
