Do you think there will be enough to give Geranium a few?.....she will be upset if we leave her out.....

Yes, of course Lou78W. Is Geranium terribly shy all of a sudden? I didn't think she would want any. This is working out to be about one seed pod each, but they are like primulas inside and there should be lots of seeds. It would be a shame to waste them if I can catch them.

I'm looking forward to the challenge, I've managed primulas but I think they are easier than trilliums will be

Me, shy? Nooooo....Thanks for thinking of me, ladies, but I vowed I wouldn't sow seeds this year, especially 'challenging' ones. Good luck with yours!

Hang on there for about three years in that case Geranium and one of us might be able to raise a plant for you.

Good for striking a cutting from your rose joysie21. You will enjoy it all the more because you grew it yourself.

joysie21 , the pink rose in the picture is 'Harlow Carr', I've got it climbing on a trellis on the side of the garage. 'Rhapsody in Blue' does smell lovely, I might take some cuttings off it as you've had success with yours!

This is the view from our back door looking up the garden, the tree trunk belongs to a Laburnum on which I'm trying to train a clematis. This part of the garden has shade all day. The dog bowl you can see is for the hedgehogs' water
This pic was taken from the path to the left of the bed above and looks across the patio, the Pyracantha on the back of the house is covered in flowers this year and 'hums' with the bees scrambling all over it.
The border on the left is the part of the garden that gets the most sun. The blue flowers close to the lawn are Penstemon 'Heavenly Blue'.
The view from the opposite direction, the Kniphofia's have done well this year.
