          The "blousy" Pink Begonia is still the star of the show

          and the waist high bed between my neighbour and me is looking quite good at last. A bit of a higgledy piggledy mix but it's quite interesting

              Yes - Cambridge Blue. The dark Oxford Blue doesn't appear to have made it unfortunately,

              I shared some of these on the exotic thread but not with those of you who don't look at it for some strange reason. So here goes;

              Eucomis punctata...............

              Digitalis ferruguinea and Lobelia tupa looking really good together.............

              Bomarea edulis....................

              Impatiens balfourii................
              [​IMG]

              And finally, the first flower on my small division of Lobelia laxiflora...............

                  Phlomis Russelliana samia (seed heads), Lucifer and Veronicastrum (the bees love the Veronicastrum)

                  Verbascum Chaixii, Phlox

                  Hydrangea (this is 60 years old)
                  P1250489.JPG


                  Begonias (petals are edible and look good in salads - they have a citrus/lemon flavour - but none of the other parts are)
