      Jenny - they are Linaria Fairy Bouquet. Sowed them last September but you can sow them now for flowers this summer.

                Not so much looking good as multiplying good. Last year had 2 large pots each with 3 gladiolis and 3 tigrida. Left to their own devices over winter there now are 19 gladis and 11 tigrida in one and 16 gladis and 9 tigrida in the other - hadn't realised I had the bulb maternity ward! A bit of moving on required I think....

                        I know I've posted some pics of these plants previously, but always worth another pic cos they are so beautiful.

                        It's a bit colourful in my garden at the moment as you can see!

                            They are Jenny, but then I'm biased. Love this time of year, there's so much going on.

                            Sowed lots of summer flowering seeds in the front this year, so hopefully that'll be just as colourful in a couple of months.
