Not sure if it is drainage or what... I have to grow them like annuals ... since they always fall over I mostly do not bother these days, but they are missed in the garden for a good show as you say. Lovely Mother's Day gift for Meg! You have quite a variety of Tradescantia... I only have the wild one here. I love your decking... very tidy ...Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067132532095325169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32800870.post-514664789575057182010-05-10T21:47:03.116-04:002010-05-10T21:47:03.116-04:00I could just dive into that blue of the delphinium...I could just dive into that blue of the delphinium.

Lovely blooms!<br /><br />My bronze fennel was literally covered with BST cats this weekend! Also, there were teeny, tiny praying mantis all over the fennel--I know nothing about the reason the fennel was chosen for the young, so I need to do some research.F Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558874651743241988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32800870.post-66233892650279509342010-05-10T08:38:39.756-04:002010-05-10T08:38:39.756-04:00Chandramouli,

I think delphiniums don't like the humidity and long period of heat. They do great in my home state of Maine but I gave up on them a long time ago here.

It is sooooooooo invasive here and pretty much the bane of our existence. The flowers are pretty, but it is coming up all over our yard and is quite difficult to dig up.

I must say that where I live, the cost of having things built is so high that paying more for the materials doesn't much put a dent into the budget. Same with plants, you get a $30 000 garden makeover (this is considered a small project), so what if $1000 is plants. Hey, so what if $2000 is plants. <br /><br />(One reason I've started doing moreTown Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09777461911856383480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32800870.post-70297170214921462422010-05-09T12:23:53.747-04:002010-05-09T12:23:53.747-04:00That's a great reminder I need to replace the ...That's a great reminder I need to replace the spiderwort I lost last year when I extended a rock wall.wiseacrehttp://wiseacre-gardens.com/wordpressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32800870.post-30436420605369667592010-05-09T10:53:17.743-04:002010-05-09T10:53:17.743-04:00Beautiful delphinium.

I wasn't familiar with it and the photo on the packet wasn't impressive, so I ignored it. After seeing your post, I think I should go back to the store for it, but from what I read online seems like it mightn't like too much of heat...
