There is no point in trying to beat the posts of Jan of course.
But we can try with this juno nusairiensis 

[ronm]

What others are you growing Angelo? Are they in pots or open ground?

Lovely 'Warlsind' John. I've never seen this before and it is very nice. From your picture of your property it appears your plants grow in some shade from the trees, Is this correct? You seem to have had some heavy rain over the past few days there John. Is this normal for this time of year?

And what a try . Superb Luc.

Yes Ron most beds get partial shade and some heavy shade. Yes spring can be a little wet
but it drys quick once the sun comes back.

I grow, I. planifolia, palaestina, aucheri, graeberiana, bucharicha, magnifica, plus some hybrids. I also grow cycloglossa but this species is not very happy in my climate, being too warm for it. They are all in the open ground

[ronm]

A most lovely collection Angelo. Hope you can picture them for us.

John you don't have council footpaths and can plant to the road? That is not possible in suburbs here in Oz. The councils LOVE to spray all the verges to the roads. Do you think you might start getting root competition in time?

[Otto Fauser]

Luc , what a heavenly blue colour of your I. nussairiensis -is it true .

Hi Pat. I assume you are refering to "sidewalks" .  I am in an older addition on the edge
of town and there are not sidewalks on my small side street. I am only 1 block from
the country,  ie. wheat fields. The roadsides and ditches do not get much spraying
around here. Competition,  naaaaah.

I really like this one  . Even though its quite squat, and obviously not the brightest colours, I think it has something going for it.

The intensity of the blue colour varies a bit between different plants. This one is rather dark blue.

Another white and yellow / orange one.
