    There are so many nice ones. I love Astrantias, which is not such a well known one. I also love Cleome - the one pictured in my Avatar. But sometimes I think that there is nothing better than a collection of team players all pulling together, rather than a primadonna trying to steal the limelight.

    So difficult to choose. I narrowed it down to Sweet William and Phlox; maybe Sweet William just wins, but on the other hand.....

    I have mine in the garden in Falkirk - have a try, U2BG - just be prepared to wrap it in fleece if we have bad weather reports! And have it somewhere relatively sheltered in the first place.....

    Don't really know if I have a favourite flower???? probably a bit too soon to choose! :rolleyes:
    I have a soft-spot for Aquilegias as my Grandad always grew them ( not that I've got any in my garden - yet!) I suppose my favourite of the moment would be Passiflora - so intricate and intriguing - a bit like myself!!!! :D :D
