There are Alliums which flower late in the year. Look out for one called A. wallichii, lilac coloured ball in September. I have an unnamed one...
Never seen suckers on ours, nor have I ever tried getting cuttings to root. It is supposedly easy from bought seeds though.
We have this and I cut it down to the ground (well about a foot up) in February. This gives us leaves the size of elephant's ears at the expense...
Why the rocks are in the garden is something of a mystery, but why they are in the area is simple. This was once the bottom of a glacial lake and...
At least I didn't make a mountain out of it.
There are places in the same path where there are definite runs. (You sink when you tread there.) I dread to dig in case there are more rocks like...
From this. I found a mole hill in the grass path. When I dug down to find the run I discovered four huge rocks and bags of broken bricks. The...
Proof reading copy arrived today. Found a few errors which we will put right, eventually. [ATTACH]
@Islandlife. This is the fourth book. They are published on Amazon. There are at least two more in the pipeline. Wish I had the self discipline to...
Sorry, not done much posting lately. Very little happening in Palustris land. Got a new book coming out soon. Think we have finished proof reading...
It used to really annoy me (and to be honest very little does) when I heard people talking down to children.
Try hanging a pair of white trousers on a washing line and leaving it out all night. Guarantee they will be covered in them. Never wore those...
Definitely an earwig.
Who has time to dead-head?
And a few Saxifrages. I have not got a picture of the yellow flowered one. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Have to admit that this is how I normally take cuttings. [ATTACH] Pure sharp sand and in a frame with a shaded lid. Used to have heating cables...
So here goes. I used Saxifraga koelnatiana atropurpurea as I need some of it for myself. [ATTACH] Three pieces, one with out roots, but all of...
Don't forget that the rosette which flowers will die. I like them too and have grown well over 50 different forms of the various species. They...
S.paniculata is one of the silvers. Cuttings are dead easy. Take a rosette or two or three from the edge of the plant, with a bit of stem and put...
What kind of Saxifrage? Silvers and Porophyllum types are best done from cuttings, about now.
