    Some unusual things growing in my new garden.

    It wasn't me that took the bite out of this!

          You recognised him!!! :hapydancsmil: :yahoo:
          I have two wooden green men too; looking extremely "weathered" now too, but just as charming :heehee:

          Thank you! :thumbsup:
          Credit for those go to Mr & Mrs @shiney - I first spied them in their garden, two years ago, and fell totally, and thoroughly, in love with the plant :wub2: I bought some seed and planted them way back earlier in the year and waited ... and ... waited! ... until ... BOOM! The flowers appeared, the buzzes came buzzing and glory hallelujah!!! :love30: Stunning flowers at a time when everything else is going into hibernation/winding down.

          I have some seed put by ready for planting next year :wub2: Plus, I have a different location for them - to give me a bit of extra privacy plus - so I can get up close and personal with them :heehee:

          Totally FUN tastic plants :dbgrtmb:

                        Just what are you suggesting? :oops:

                        @shiney No, no and triple no ... I did not, not way, no how pilfer any of your cobaea seed :snooty:
                        Stroking and poking your asparagus is one thing ... perfectly legit, last time I looked ... but, my cobaea are, heart and soul, not from your stock! :nonofinger:

                        However, to clarify ... I *do* have numerous *other* plants, which are. :heehee: :lunapic 130165696578242 5: :loll:
