I've been to their garden twice, February and August, and it's truly amazing what they grow. Janes cooking is great too! hello Rod and Jane if you are watching!!

I love that Lysimachia paridiformis ssp stenophylla. Great flowers and great leaves. If you grow it from cuttings I am assuming it isn't quite as rampant as so many of the Lysimachias? Worth growing it for that leaf and flower combination, that is for sure!!

Post by: Ian Y on September 17, 2007, 09:13:36 AM: Paul the Lysimachia is not in the least bit rampant it is a choice plant and it does not run at all - I only wish it did.
Glad you are now joining me each week.

Now I want it even more. You'll have to work harder on that seed!! ;D 8)

I'm glad to be joining you each week as well. I just kept forgetting it was there I'm ashamed to admit. Finally got it through my head that by early Friday our time it was usually up, so get into the habit of checking Friday or Saturday and reading it. Always good!!

The Lysimachia is a nice plant, the foliage is lovely and shiny and when the clusters of rich golden flowers are open it is a cracker! Sadly I think your heat would kill it :'(

Post by: Paul T on September 26, 2007, 11:22:37 PM: OK Maggi, what did you do to my last posting? You edited it on the 24th and this is coming up now as unread....... so what did you do????? Suspicious minds want to know!! ;D

Post by: Maggi Young on September 26, 2007, 11:25:05 PM: Sorry, Paul, can't remember! I think it was something silly like changing "covet if" to "covet it" or something like that. Sometimes I just get an urge to tidy! Sadly this seldom happens in the house!
