      Hiya shiney :thumbsup:

      The viburnum near your entrance you mean? (I remember it) That’s a real shame, it was a nice specimen. Ours is only a small one, planted a couple of years ago. I’m so impressed with it, I’ve ordered two more.

        A few quick pics taken as usual with my tablet, so not brilliant quality ( as is my norm :heehee:)

        A lovely pale lilac Delphinium is now in full bloom to match the dark and lighter blue ones. IMG_20200526_113816.jpg IMG_20200526_113903.jpg

        What a difference a week makes ,our biggest Lupin ( grown from seed 3years ago) has now exploded with bloom spikes and it's looking fab. IMG_20200526_113830.jpg IMG_20200526_113718.jpg IMG_20200526_113703_burst_01.jpg IMG_20200526_114029_burst_01.jpg

          @Freddy Yes, that's the one. It was a beautiful plant :sad:.

          I hope you are both well and both of us send our best wishes. :thumbsup:

                If you remove spent stems, it will produce more so, 2 months at least.
                I let it seed itself in Autumn and it just pops up here and there.
                I can send you some seeds later on if you like. I have Linaria purperea as well.
