Last Post!

I have been so really bad about posting here that it is unfair to expect people to visit when I am being so irregular. So I will stop posting here as from today.
Please pop over to my daily blog and catch up with what I am doing.

I don't believe the aquiligea from yesterday have any scent, they just self seed everywhere! My favourite, mmmmmmmmmmmm, well thats a hard one, in all honesty I'm not sure I could say I have a favorite, I like the challenge of growing them, I like colour but I like unusual too! But if you backed me up to a wall with a gun against my head I would say ......... Rose! Mainly becuase I can't grow them, they get terrible blackspot in my garden!!!! Or Brugmansia becuase of their beautiful flowers and scent, these I can grow!
