you are correct thats what it is. Too bad it doesen't last long it is the prettiest bill. bloom.

Thanks for all the nice comments! And Matt, the garden is getting a bit crowded at the moment, so you're welcome anytime for a walk-through and I promise I won't frisk you! This morning, everything was wet and washed clean from the rain and there was a break in the clouds for the sun to come through. So I promptly got out my camera for another walk-through, but I had barely started when the rain started to come down again! And I forgot to add this one, specially for Gonzer. So you can get the 'whole picture' of one of the tillies I bought on your recommendation. Good choice! Japie

Full full west sun would be worse than south sun. but here's some stuff you can consider. Zinnias, any variety of Celosia, Gomphrena, Amaranths, Tuberoses, Veronicas, Ornamental Grasses, Millets, Ageratum, Rudbeckia, Echinacea, Salvia, Tithonia. Hope that helps MaryMargaret.

'Little Green Ruby', Miniata var. discolor followed by some from a crossing of Ae gamosepala x nudicaulis which I made a few years ago. Ae. 'Aussie Ruby', Ae Little Green Ruby, Miniata var. discolor Ae gamosepala x nudicaulis Ae gamosepala x nudicaulis Not exactly bright, but an unusual colour for a brom Ae gamosepala x nudicaulis Similar to the Ae. gamosepala parent but more compact and brightly coloured Ae gamosepala x nudicaulis
