Neal that Carnation is a bit more sturdy than most, and as you can see it stands up until it has flowers, then there's always something for them to rest on, if not they never lay on the ground. I don't think mine have grown that tall. I had one of those ruby clove scented ones, it grew well and lasted for years but I think it finally expired, it was amongst a few I got from seeds and none of them were what they were supposed to be. I did try growing some and think I may have had some in pots but they never seemed to want to grow well, I think they have disappeared now. Wonderful scent, must get some more!

teacup, what a comforting name! Even though I 'appear' to have space, I still have to be very selective, you have no idea how many 'selected' plants I have!

A view of the Lily bed taken from the kitchen window (good job it doesn't show the dirt on the windows!) Oh yes as you see I have catus collection too! A cloudy day but probably hot and little rain for a long time, I was surprised how things held up. In the bed at the rear you can just see the red parent lilies of the ones in that bed to the right of the yellow lilies, only 3 of them and they are not so good as the new ones now. Taken 6th July, I seemed to take a lot on that day.
