Thanks Joyous. Have you had to put your plants in the house? We have had some very cold weather, now it's warm, yes, actually warm!

Today was really lovely, 17C (63f) or perhaps more, but i was too tired to enjoy it, plus I had to go shopping! Must get a good night's sleep as the next 3 days at least are going to be the same. A big change from the 5C we had last week!

Neal I think they will make seed, and I will definitely be looking for some, so you will be first in line. I found a pic of the plants last year when they were still young, hardly a flower on them. They started to flower in January this year!

I have often thought of trying the doubles, they are usually expensive and I have had my doubts as to whether they would live for long, as most hybrids don't do well. There is a really deep blue I would love to try.

I had to put a tape measure to some of the plants! Now you can see how big they really are!
