Topic: flowers from my garden.

[Heldi]

Thanks everyone. 

Oops Tulippa I hope I've not given you nightmares!   Glad most of you liked the pimpernel. It is such a dinky little flower though be warned from Tulippa if you don't want it running rampant. I wouldn't mind it doing its thing but I think I get a better show in its pot where you can see the flowers close up.


My camera is Pentax Optio 550.

 The rose is an Iceberg climber I think,though I had an Iceberg shrub so I might be getting mixed up again!  The flower itself looks gorgeous but it is prone to blackspot and mildew. I don't spray or anything and put up with the less than perfect foliage.


Lorna I hope you do post your pics I'd love to see your garden.

I spent an our or so weeding scarlet pimpernel out of my veg beds today, it loves my garden too much.  I was thinking of you Heldi, I got 3 buckets full!  Just making sure I catch them before they go to seed!

I have loads too, and together with speedwell they make my life miserable in summer trying to get them out of the plots...

Now if the flowers were bigger, say an inch across, they'll be fantastic bedding plants!

Thanks, Heldi, I'll add it to my list of ones to look at.

Beautiful pictures Heldi - I do love to see flowers in close up.
Isn't nature wonderful - all of those beautiful shapes and colours.

Double oops Moonbells cos I like speedwell too! Had a little pot of it. It has gone in the sulks though. I like to really look at the teeny flowers and marval at their perfection.

You're welcome Juliet!

Thankyou Emm.  I am trying to mix native plants,however small, in amongst the more exotic types. Seems to be working ok so far.
