    Hopefully it will produce seed to share. As regards to its other uses, if I were a few years younger..............

    I agree, although I would keep them barely moist until they come into growth as I would expect that the bulbs are probably a little soft now.

          This is my annual flower bed :hapfeet: first time growing most of them :-) Love the smell as I walk past. I adore them all equally but I have a soft spot for sweet peas. But a close second due to the strange factor is helichrysum. If any of you have you grown them you will know, but I had a real shock when they flowered. They feel like paper :thud:.


          Thank-you all for being so generous and kind these past couple of years I don't think it gets said often enough!:spinning: :ThankYou:

                      Oh WOW , Strongy , those borders are stunning :)

                      In the bottom one, is the white plant in the middle a Cleome ? I can't really see it on my phone . If so how do you get them to flower ? Mine are about 12/18" high and no sign of any buds at all.

                        Yes @KFF it is Cleome Senorita Blanca but bought as a plant not grown myself, they only appear in nurseries/GCs in late June and they don't set seed.
