I've got loads of poppies at the front of my house (the front garden), I planted poppy seeds. Don't worry I had to wait a long time for them.

Do you have any white ones B-G? It's just that I've always wanted white poppies. Very Happy If you have maybe we could do a seed swap if you're interested? I have masses of seeds that I could swap for them.

Yes, I do have some white ones but I've run out of more seeds.

Oh lucky you!!! Very Happy I always seem to turn up at nurseries and garden centres when all the white ones have gone. Sad I actually bought a pack of seeds last year that were supposed to be white - guess what - they were orange and yellow!!! Mind you I love 'em but still hanker after the illusive whites. Smile

I like a lot of flowers. It is very hard toi chose a favorite. I have a bunch of different Dianthus because I like them so well low growing along the garden path such as this Velvet & Lace one.



Or this Chedder Pink one


HUMM can't remember the name of this one but it is a double we planted on the edge of the East Garden.



Another double.



Bee Balm is a big hit with me too.



Best of all are the views like this.


Very Happy Al

The Velvet and Lace has to be my favourite without a doubt. It's absolutely gorgeous. I've never seen a Dianthus that colour before!!!

Orchids are by far the most incredible of flowers, but I have no experience in growing them - only in appreciating them.

If my favorite has to be something to be grown then Iris it is!
