Morning all cool but dry going for our flu jabs this morning @alp yes thalictums the mauve one as a plant and yellow one thalictum sphaerostachyum grown from seed first year its flowered so I would say around 2 years was about 6 ft tall this year

@upsy I thought at first glance your seed pods were the common yellow flag iris ( iris pseudacorus )

Morning all and guess what its raining . Big day of football that me sorted for most of the day.

Morning @Zenj !!
Hubs had his jab this week, for the first time he had side effects, only mild ( well in my opinion) but enough for him to seek sympathy

Have a great day

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Ah OK thanks @Perki .....willl need to seek out my friend Google, will probably recognise it when I see it

Rain....again, you're so lucky!!

Enjoy the footie, not that I have any idea whose playing

[MaryMary]

You're welcome!!

I used to pull it out of the yard to feed my rabbit!

Chickens like plantain also, which is fortunate since we have an abundant "crop"!

Well done! I wonder if your seeds are still viable. I have so many seeds that when I want them, I can never find them. I felt like pinching the seeds in the same nursery where I bought the Splendide. There were tons of seeds and strangely none on my own plant. 6' for 2 years is marvellous!

Bought the plant that @Perki named for @Leeski

Can't remember the name again! They reduced it to £3.99. So I am happy with that!

Just love Penstemon

I do like upskirting!

Have no idea this is

Have the feeling that this is @MaryMary 's beloved Art nouveau

When I was removing the straggly cosmos cupcake, I suddenly saw this old flower! Lordy! I didn't even know it had flowered - ' Freya's Paso Doble'

It was buried deep by the needle-like cosmos leaves!

I hate having jabs! Very unpleasant and the place for the inoculation is like a Victorian prison!
