    I'll have a look around here for some Nora Barlow seeds. Even if they don't cross with the ones I have they'll still look good planted with the others.

    I doubt that Phillip. Every flower is a new one. Never seen before. Do you still have that awesome tall vase planter?

    Philip, have you tried poking the cutting in a potato and cover it with a jar method?

    We got rain today and very welcome it was too. It's been quite a while since we last had a really decent downpour. We got just enough to save us having to water the garden again over the next few days.
