    Lovely pics and lovely flowers, Woo. Those Gazanias always look so unreal in their beauty. Perhaps I'll try them next year, full sun, isn't it?

    Lovely Colours and lovely flowers Woo:thumb:I use to enjoy growing Gladioli many years ago but got fed up with having to lift them each year so eventually they vanished from the garden.Mr Kandy bought some small ones the other year and planted them in rows over at the allotment.One lot died away but the other two lots are in flower at the moment and look fantastic.

    Once we get some ground free in our garden we are going to try them over here because they really do look magnificant.:)

    Thankyou for sharing your flowers with us:thumb:

    Hi Woo,

    That purple is quite striking-how intense does it look in real life? And which particular variety is it?

    I am always on the watch for that particular colour and would love to have some in my garden for next yr?
