Delphinium

 

I had the usual delphinium growing this year.  I have attached 1 pic
sowing the norm and then another showing 1 with 4 separate heads.  I
would love to grow the gorgon, if I save seed will it come true?  Also
some pics of my garden, dog and the new Summer sitting room, all
plants have been grown by me from seed and cuttings.

I don't know about the seed but it's certainly worth a try.  A lot of
the interesting plants around nowadays have come about by just such a
chance.  Our Crocosmia Krakatoa was something that crossed with C.
Lucifer and produced an interesting variant quite by accident.  I
notice that you have one of those round tables with a 'skirt' and we
have something similar which hides the tv when not in use.  I'd love a
tv 'den' but as that is the Nursery office, the skirted table does the
job very well.  I love the white petunias in the blue bowl, too.  That
particular blue is a great favourite of mine and it looks wonderful in
a sunny spot.  You might also like to look out for a surfinia called
'Lime', which is white with a greenish throat.  That, too, would look
great in your blue pots and is another I love - it's very elegant and
cooling, too.

Bless, I knew you would be able to give some advice.  I think I
already have surfina lime; if you take a look at the entrance to the
pool, you will see 2 hanging pots ready to hang up; I grew those from
cuttings  ssshhhh... I know, not allowed, licence or something?  I
have a skirted table on each side of the sette, probably not on the
pics I posted; I still have to find the glass tops!!!!!!  I wish I
could find more time for t.v.  when sitting down for 1 hour, just 1
hour; the other evening, I was preparing redcurrants on my lap for
making jelly and watching the t.v. at the same time.
