Some gems - erodium
Plants from Lamberton
A dianthus
Gentian
Phlox bifida Petticoat
All so beautiful..and I can't grow any of them! Too humid here.
That Erodium is lovely....they are mostly borderline hardy here. I only have E. manescavii and E. chrysanthum.
I really like Erodium. I have Katherine Joy and this one which is trichomanifolium.
I saw a lovely Erodium in Kew last May...I think it was E. triflorum.
I can't believe I didn't make it to this thread before. All gorgeous!
I'm going to be looking into more erodium! I have just one type -
tiny flowers & a creeper (plus not hardy here).
I love the phlox bifida. It doesn't even look like a flower. It looks like something you could use to make jewelry. I bought one earlier this year, but it was the first casualty. I didn't know why until I saw the cat sleeping in that corner of the trough. I have since filled my troughs with pointed sticks (chopsticks and those wooden skewers for shishkebab), planted vertically in a circle around each of the plants, and haven't lost any more plants to flattening. Now I just have to get another bifida.
