Ditto in Denmark, even in the current heat wave we're having. Just tiny sprouts on cautleoides and being my usual impatient self I had to check that purpurea was still alive in the pot...

Maggie, the Helichrysum has been there now for 12 years, but this is the best year for the number of flowers.

Helichrysum sessilioides on tufa wall.

That's a cracker!!

Rosoea humeana alba seedlings. Always come pure white except this odd one with purple.

White Roscoea humeana is just a perfect flower - love it!

Lovely to see how your seedlings are coming on Guff. And Stefan, agree that Krinkled White is such a good goblet-shaped flower at that stage.
Here things are coming and going very quickly;

P. peregrina


P. 'White Cap'

the Itohs are flowering now too, this one is Magical Mystery Tour (with Clematis Rebecca)
