I bought some plants at the show. The new Geranium - 'Azure Rush', three little Rudbeckia 'Toto Rustic', a pink Rhodanthemum and a pink Achillea sibirica. Oh, and the two Clematis pre-ordered from Taylor's 'Black Tea' has flowers on it, but it's pouring so I'm not venturing out to take a photo.

I received a £20 voucher from Hayloft Plants because they were unable to send part of my order (£12 refund for three Penstemon 'Mystica' which hadn't rooted properly and were too poor to send out and £8 for my disappointment), so I've ordered some Monarda 'Beauty of Cobham' and Delphinium Magic Fountain dark blue

Watch out for 'Sarastro', Rosie - it spreads! You'll love Hot Chocolate.

Watch out for 'Sarastro', Rosie - it spreads! You'll love Hot Chocolate. I will keep an eye on it Geranium ;D actually one advatnage of living this far north is that plants that are invasive down south are sometimes quite well behaved up here, even Acanthus doesn't spread much up here, that a plant i still want as well ;D I remembered seeing your hot choc rose Geranium and i always liked it, lovely plant and it was only £7.49 ;D

I do too. Sarastro isn't a thug - it just spreads a bit. My poor 'Hot Chocolate' doesn't like the rain - its flowers suffer badly. One of the plants I got at H.C. might be a bit thuggish - have to wait and see on that. It's Achillea sibirica with a bit more latin on the end that I can't remember... Anyway, I like it, and here it is! One of my Achillea millefolium, which was deep maroon in previous years has flowered a dirty grey this year, so I've removed it and this has taken its place.

That is gorgeous Geranium. I don't like Achillea very much, but I know it has its uses, but that is not like the usual one.

Thanks, Cherry - wasn't it strange that my Achillea 'Pomegranate' reverted like that!

I wouldn't mind if that was a bit 'thuggish' in my garden Geranium it looks very pretty & the butterflies & bees usually love achilleas.

Calla lily, but not too sure whether should I move it in my garden or leave it in the pot. Any suggestions !!!!

Are you in the UK, Rani? If it's a tender one, leave it in its pot. The only one that's hardy in the UK is Zantedeschia aethiopica 'Crowborough'. (or 'Green Goddess' too, I believe). 'Crowborough ' is white - the tender ones are coloured. As you can see, it's a very large flower - very different from the coloured Calla lilies you can buy at the moment.
