      Uhhmmm ..............I just call them soddin' poppies! Constantly having to pull the seedlings here so I'm not a lover anymore.

      That's alright - it's boring everyone with more Salvia today!
      I do like the spider daylilies - what's the best behaved hardy one in your opinion (the darker the better)?

      So, more Salvia;

      The white form of S.microphylla..................
      [​IMG]

      I got a small cutting of "Raspberry Royale" and it's in bloom.....................
      [​IMG]

      Blue Spires is another strongly branching Salvia - really pleased that this is blooming again..............
      [​IMG]

      Impatiens niamniamensis loves it outdoors over the summer as long as it's in fairly heavy shade............
      [​IMG]

      The white form of Campanula glomerata................
      [​IMG]

      Sorry if this is a repeat, but it is one on my favourites - Sollya heterophylla in full bloom..............

        @longk this one but its a UF "unusual form" "Fox Ears" I grew from a "Proliferation" which was touch and go flowered 1st time last year in my top 3 of favorite but its getting hold of it thats the problem as its slow to increase in size to split , to be honest I don't know anyone in the UK selling it.

                      Bought it from PoundLand last year. It is supposed to be a white one but turned out to be peachy. Since it cost only 97p I'm not complaining, especially as I haven't got a rose this colour anyway.:)

                      First time I've tried this. It does look rather smashing. Bought the seeds from Wyevale 50p sale last year, so another bargain:).

                      Chinese grasses? "Mice tasty grass" :heehee:

                      I've got one that looks just like that, pulled the label to check the name ... "Ladybird" ... cue Victor Meldrew "I don't believe it"! So either wrongly packaged, or wrongly labelled. "Ladyboy" maybe?!!

                        Dug my plant up last year and put it on the outside of my fence, I hated those little buttons, but, close up they are very pretty.
