Or perhaps the hybrid Swallowtail Columbine - I can't tell the difference Lovely. I've tried this one a few times (Aquilegia chrysantha, pardon the spelling, it's early) but it always dies out. I'm going to put in a new garden out back, perhaps it'll make it out there. -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |

They like dappled sun and not too much water. Aphids always attack mine in the Spring, but a couple of sprayings with insecticidal soap a week apart takes care of them. ----------------- www.Newsgroup-Binaries.com - *Completion*Retention*Speed* Access your favorite newsgroups from home or on the road ----------------- |

Mary, I don't want to know theexact name of the town or anything, but what part of England do you live in? When I was there I remember you had the most marvelous weeds - I actually have columbine weeds here in this yard, but not the other that were over there in southern England. Mum and I went on a garden tour there back in 1997 or so. Went to the Chelsea Garden show and then took a coach tour around southern and western England, it was wonderful! -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |

Mum and I went on a garden tour there back in 1997 or so. Went to the Chelsea Garden show and then took a coach tour around southern and western England, it was wonderful! We're a long way (in English but not US terms) from Chelsea and even further from the south and west :-) I'm in inner city Leeds, Yorkshire, exactly 200 miles from London in the south and Edinburgh in the north. Columbine isn't regarded as a weed, many folk buy plants and seeds of it. But it's a weed in my garden in that it spreads and spreads and is very difficult to get rid of, I can't pull it up. In more than forty years it's beaten me :-) We have a different botanical environment from the south in that we're cooler and can't grow the tender plants which thrive further south. So saying, I agree that some 'weeds' are lovely. All my neighbours try to get rid of daisies on their lawns, when we had a lawn I couldn't grow them. Coltsfoot grows in cracks in the pavement, no matter how I try I can't get it to grow in my garden - even in cracks in the paths! Then there's dandelion - if it were rare everyone would want the beautiful flower and would marvel at the symmetry of its seed head. Elder is regarded by most as a tree weed but I was saddened when we lost the one overhanging our garden from a neighbour's, we lost our source of lovely flowers which I used to make elderflower fizz. We have a wild rose, the eglantine, at the bottom of our garden which delights us with its dainty blossom in summer months and the bright red hips in the dark winter ones. I use those for cordial and jelly of course :-) Most of my garden plants provide food - for us, for birds and for insects, if they're just for show I don't really want them. But I'm regarded as an oddity ... Mary -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |
