      The whites are quite well (some are in the above posts)

      Cistus

      Aruncus sylvestris
      This is only just coming into flower in our garden but I've seen it in full flower elsewhere.
      Behind it is a white flowered variegated elderberry

      and another, young, one that is doing very well
      P1200704.JPG

      Verbascum chaxii doesn't grow as high as the common mullein but is a beautiful plant. When established it will grow to a height of about 3ft and can give multiple flower spikes. It's only just starting to flower and will continue throughout the summer. When the early spikes finish it can be cut down and can, sometimes, flower again. The spike will be solid with flower and another favourite of the bees. (Alongside is our elephant garlic that's just about ready for lifting)

                Hello everyone. Great to be back on the forum. I woke up a few days ago to a flower I've wanted in my garden for over 2 years ... My absolute favourite ...

                Himalayan Blue Poppy

                  The exotic border.
                  Three Aloe Striatula buds (top right) are on their way to flowering.

                  Campanula poscharsykana Hirsch Blue growing through the Astilbes .

                  This Tradescantia appeared last year from nowhere :scratch: not sure if it will stay as the border is getting very crowded.

                      Mine too, but unfortunately they like acid soil and mine is alkaline so I have no chance of growing them.......Oh, it's nice to see you have sucess, zappamusic, as they also have a reputation of not being an easy plant to grow.:coffee:

                      Lovely plant, zappa :blue thumb:

                      To try and get them to grow outside of their normal environment they need stratification (shoving in the fridge for six weeks :heehee:), which helps them to germinate. :)
