Is it just me but have we seen an extraordinary selection of plants over the past few days?

It just strikes me that members have shown some quite unusual and beautiful plants recently.

Enjoyed them all even if the number which were new to me caused some confusion/brain overload.

I'll echo that too, so many outstandingly interesting plants in the garden and the wild and it's wonderful to see them side by side and reflect on their origins and diversity....thanks to each and everyone in the Forum and the hardworking people who make it all possible  :)

Paddy - you could try this (though it doesn't seem to help with spelling).

The first Kniphofia is opening.  Just a seedling that poped up, but a nice colour combination.  I used to have lots of seedlings, but have parred back to a handful.  The rest are in other garden, brightening the late Spring.

I agree- a great colour combination.
Flowering here:
Salvia viscosa in closeup and also in a general shot across the main xeric bed with Verbascum and Eremurus behind.
Scabiosa cinerea- a happy memory plant, as its grandparent was won at an SRGC meeting in Aberdeen)
Antirrhinum hybrids. The original plants were grown from seed bougt as A.braun-blanquetii, but I wasn't sure if they were true. The plants started out yellow flowered, about 1m tall, shrubby and quite perennial. Over the next few years the bees brought in genes from elsewhere, and more colours appeared in the self sown seedlings. This was about 20 years ago so the plants in the picture are now several generations on from the first plants. I would be interested to know if anybody has ever seen or grown pure A.braun-blanquetii.

Gerry,

I am certainly in need of some brain tonic though something stronger than Coca Cola would be far more welcome.

No Luit ... but I did visit one with my camera yesterday!   ;D

It is difficult to start a nursery in an area 35 feet x 15 feet ... in fact it is difficult to swing a kitten.   :D
