Very interesting to see what is flowering in other gardens. We have had more monsoon rain today and over the weekend . I post a picture of Lilium canadensis which has just opened, cheers Ian the Christie kind.
Parochetus communis never before flowered as well as it does this summer. Funny enough Seedlist Handbook lists it as half hardy. Still it survives the winters here in North Norway without problems, even the winter of 2010 with hard frost and no snow cover for almost 3 months.

Still it survives the winters here in North Norway without problems, even the winter of 2010 with hard frost and no snow cover for almost 3 months. This is one of our favourite garden plants, Magnar. The blue is bewitching. I think that the Himalayan "version" of the plant, originally described from Nepal is totally hardy but the African version, usually sold under the same name but, more correctly (I think!) P. africanus, though appearing identical in every way, is the one which can be rather tender.
