I thought i'd join you with some of my pretty flower's...

**sarraceniac** · 02-07-2009, 07:27 AM

I thought I would join the party too. I don't know if they are actually 'pretty' but a couple of my sarracenias have caught me out early this year and are even now in flower. The yellow one is S. flava and the dingy brown one is S. purpurea. As I did not do a controlled pollination I have no idea what the daddy of any resulting seeds will turn out to be. Sarras are rather promiscuous (except me

) but these are rather unusual in early July.

Are they hardy? Or in a greenhouse? I like them!

They are hardy IP. I usually give them their first winter under glass and then on they are OK. Was a bit worried when we had a bad February this year but they were fine. You will def. be OK in Devon unless you are at the top of Exmoor.

Here is a couple of pictures of my Campanula takesimana, they don't look too health because I left them in a 3in pot for the last year and a half and kept forgetting to water them

Anyway they are now in the ground and are doing ok... ish

Thanks for the info sarraceniac

Ooh can I join in please. Having totally ignored my clematis plants this year ( I usually pamper them like mad). I was astonished to notice this week that it seems they no longer need my help.

Is that last one a clematis? Can I ask what variety, we're planning on putting on in and that's stunning!

Yes, I'd like to know too .. all the blue ones I've planted are actually purple

I have bought several "blue" clematis plants, but have never had truly blue flowers on any of them. I have had them in acid soil, as I thought, like so many other plants, the blue colour might be intensified, but still, like TS remarks, they have always had a purplish colour. This is a discussion forum on the subject - A true blue clematis? - Clematis Forum - GardenWeb

The last one is The President, It's in a shady spot so looks a little blueish..

Flowers finished now.
