        I'd long lost the label from that one ARMANDII, before I used to keep a record of all my plants but I have had it identified on another forum as 'Festiva Maxima' which does look a good match :)




        Oooo yes please silu :wub2:

        Hi Simbad, I'm pretty sure it is "Tellmanniana".:thumbsup::snork: I only planted it last year against the Arbour and it grown so fast that it has reached the roof and is trying to get inside so I keep having to push the shoots back out!!

        Hi Jenny, well, I don't know about the birds using the water reservoir on the Teasel, but the insect certainly do. I just love Teasels as they are such a tall, grand looking plant. The Bees love them and the birds will take the seeds in the Autumn..........a very useful plant.:snork:

        Hi loli, I believe the way of propagating Astrantia is to put a tray of compost under the plant as it starts to make seed heads and let the seeds drop onto the tray. Then you just leave it there and hopefully seedlings will appear the following year. I might try that but move the tray to a protected area when I know there are seeds on it.:snork:

          There was a piece on Astrantia on Gardeners World last night which you may find interesting Loli if you haven't seen it already :)

                I have seen some very beautiful Irises on this thread lately and there are only a few flowers I dislike thankfully but, this is one of them. I have viewed it each year for the last 4 but it's coming out next year , It has ugly, sharp, broad bladed scruffy leaves and few flowers which as a specimen, doesn't earn its keep.

                  Although I've not had time to give it much attention this year, the herbaceous border is looking ok. Lots of self seeded things in here, but the end result is quite pleasing to the eye.
                  Nature often knows best.

                    That's a beautifully balanced border Trunky. Credit to Mother Nature of course but she could only do it with your help,

                          Everything looks good :dbgrtmb:

                          Bilbo, the Phytolaccas are always very rewarding. Our large one died during the winter (we also lost, a lilac, a laburnum and over 1,000 Aquilegias and a few other plants) but Kristen has given us some new ones. Now that we've had a little bit of rain we shall plant them out.

                          When I potted up my new Syringa Vulgaris Primrose it came with a few suckers. Have potted them in compost so if/when the root systems are a bit more developed I'd be happy to send you one Shiney if you're interested :)
