I have tons of babies. You must have a lot. I wish I had scattered some of my favorite ones. Most of mine are pink and plain!

Yes i have a lot,too many i think, but they're good for the bees that time of year.
The original plants had dark red flowers, maybe that's the difference.

Morning all

 

[alp]

Good morning, Logan and others! A quiet morning minus the potential sunshine. Will put the peony seeds to pot and hopefully something will come up. And clear a path today.

 

[Logan]

Morning Alp, i might move a rose and plant some potted crocus into vacant places where crocus haven't come up.

Morning everyone!
How are you all this morning?
Well, had a lovely afternoon in the garden yesterday and had a good old tidy around!. What a gorgeous day it was too.....lovely sunshine and blue skies.
Today ,all being well, I would like to tidy up the east patio, but the weather looks very uninviting......grey and murky looking,

Oh well we will see......the sun might peep through ........wishful thinking,

Have a Terrific Thursday

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Good luck with your Peony seeds @alp.......mine never germinated

 

[alp]

Haha! Upsy: Mine could be worse. All the way from China and some looked shrivelled. I will put them all in a big pot and let them stew!

Got a refund from Deacons and thinking of buying something else on ebay.. Incorrigible addict I am!

By the way, we're having fine drizzle and no bread again.

@Mark56 Please give me a shout if Longacre is selling its perennials in a 9cm pot. Thank you in advance.

I bought a Sour grapes FINALLY on flebay, a Brushfield camellia, a Crinodendron hookerianum pink, and red and an Edgeworthia.

 

[Logan]

Just transplanted the rose, it's too cold to do anything else.

Just got in after an hour and a half in the garden. Thank heavens that I was trying to get some sand to tidy up the slabs and saw my expensive hellebore seeds soaked, or rather totally submerged, in water. I saw some babies. Good heavens, some might have been drowned to death. I am so useless and forgetful! ! I transplanted them and put them somewhere sunnier.

Logan: I am not cold, but very drizzle. In fact, the minute I took off my shoes, it rained properly. I will wear a hat and go out again and shape up the path a bit, hopefully!

 

[Logan]

Alp: you take care. It's trying to brighten up here.

Yes, today we will have a cloudy day whilst the west side of the country is going to be sunny. Thank heavens we are not cold. I have rain water trapped in all the trays. Here, I normally need to use a high tray to capture water as it is always dry. But this year, there is a reversal of fortune and every day sees me emptying the trays. Some plants have already died from rot because of excessive water.

Why don't you take them out the trays?
