It's been several years since I've been to Chelsea - too crowded for me these days. Also for anybody living in the north of the country it's too much of a rush to do it in a day trip so it makes it a very expensive experience. I have seen more of the show gardens on the television coverage than I ever did in the flesh.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-83372199212448681072022-05-30T11:35:22.805+01:002022-05-30T11:35:22.805+01:00Thanks Kris.

The white Geranium phaeum is pretty and I had one in my old garden, but found it needed more shade than the others. Imust try growing Astrantias again too. Love them so much.

I love the Aquilegia. Sadly, I've never had a plant in that genus survive more than a single season. I suppose I should just accept that and treat it as an annual ( a short-lived annual).Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-25437801102666295332022-05-23T19:02:28.787+01:002022-05-23T19:02:28.787+01:00I love astrantias.
