Similar to our blue ones but perhaps not the same species. We have many different kinds of geraniums at the cottage.<br />Poppies are always so cheerful and I really like their seedheads as well.Tarolinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01490925193620144656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617616424270708150.post-42173932809990766642009-06-20T12:37:55.223+01:002009-06-20T12:37:55.223+01:00These are lovely.

I just scatter the seed in early, early spring. They work their way in among the other plants and oh the beauty. I'll post some photos when they start blooming here. The first buds are fuzzing up... And I must say the reds are less strident.Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04630593290368661236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617616424270708150.post-29750211476446679882009-06-18T22:20:27.514+01:002009-06-18T22:20:27.514+01:00Beautiful flowers !!!Beautiful flowers !!!Babzy.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726884546505964576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617616424270708150.post-27989149170487317492009-06-17T11:51:04.407+01:002009-06-17T11:51:04.407+01:00Hi again Linda, I’m guessing it was rainy with you...<b>Hi again Linda,</b> I’m guessing it was rainy with you too on GBBD! Love that blue/purple of your geranium. That’s my sort of colour. Know what you mean about the poppy… I had that problem too a few years ago too although I did love the deep almost black blooms. Mm… I might give it another go… or should I ;-)<br /><br />Yes… I do hear what you are saying about suburban gardens. Where space is at a premium and we have neighbours on all sides we do have to make some compromises. Oh yes… and we need to walk along our small strips of lawns too! Never mind, we can break the rules too :-D<br /><br />Only my front garden gets full sun so very unsuburban I have lettuce (beautiful red coloured lollo rosso) in a pot out there (discreet of course… LOL) and some plum tomatoes hiding in a corner sun spot :-o<br /><br />Oh… and I’ve really broken the rules with a ‘wild’ clump of red campion hiding between my stipa gigantea and a bamboo. Next to cirsium I love it and that’s what it’s all about isn’t it. Only I know its there too… and you won’t tell will you ;-)<br /><br /><i> I posted a video for my GBBD posting so you can <a href="http://blog.shirlsgardenwatch.co.uk/2009/06/blooms-and-babies.html" title="GBBD June 2009" rel="nofollow"> see</a> what you think about this red campion rebel for yourself… LOL :-D</i>Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956905954971466579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617616424270708150.post-50575970513429139612009-06-17T04:20:00.398+01:002009-06-17T04:20:00.398+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Margaret's Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11736694208684946814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617616424270708150.post-29634740796827315632009-06-17T00:35:42.749+01:002009-06-17T00:35:42.749+01:00That rose looks so exotic and I love the color of ...That rose looks so exotic and I love the color of that geranium!Sylvanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186604429680496847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617616424270708150.post-74004287358261890402009-06-16T16:58:21.011+01:002009-06-16T16:58:21.011+01:00LOVE the colors... and the flowers are so beautifu...LOVE the colors... and the flowers are so beautiful.

I am trying a Jacob Cline or Kline monarda, with a red bloom, that is supposed to be more resistant to mildew. I wonder if that would work for you.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617616424270708150.post-60117673721802679942009-06-16T02:29:52.870+01:002009-06-16T02:29:52.870+01:00Love, love this post...my country's colors, to...Love, love this post...my country's colors, too!
