This is High Hopes she is a little too vigourous really for our tiny patch of garden but I love her, long stems, but very little perfume, a lovely shade of pink and nice shaped buds

Loved you Arab's eye and the Diasica, both new to me. Your roses seem lush and healthy too.
I hope you are going to post more blooms, as I'm fascinated by
the Australian plants.

A few flower questions

Sounds like what happened to me. I had two flats of flower seeds planted for my daughter's butterfly garden (and for other areas around my yard). One flat was 1/2 milkweed and 1/2 tropical salvia. The other flat was full of 'Pina Colada' Penstemon. Being a complete newbie, I only had one CFL bulb providing light. The flat closest to the light was the one with the milkweed and salvia while the penstemon was, logically, further away. I lost the entire flat of penstemon and was starting to lose the salvia. When I noticed the salvia was showing the same 'falling over' symptoms as the penstemon, I just took the entire flat outside and let it sit in my lanai where the flat got early morning sun and late afternoon sun, but was protected during the rest of the day. I still ended up losing a few of the salvia that simply were beyond recovery, but I was able to save the rest. So now I know, or at least assume, that the single CFL bulb just is not going to cut it. I have since looked up plans for building a grow-light hood using 4-6 CFL bulbs and a reflective dryer tube. As of today, all the remaining sprouts are growing in their own pots out in my lanai or on the east side of my house and are getting stronger and bigger by the day. As for whether or not you can 'mound' soil up the stem, I guess, like in most cases, it depends on the species. I tried it with two of the milkweed and two of the salvia. The two salvia wilted and died while the milkweed is still growing. Best of luck on your endeavors.

Flowers/Plants not Blooming

Sometimes flowers get a little cranky after transplanting but they will probably bounce back next season. Watch out for that ajuga, it can be very aggressive. I just looked up the creeping phlox and confirmed that its normal bloom time is coming to an end about now. If you can buy plants just before they bloom you will get more bloom time from them at your place than in the nursery. In any event, with perennials you should be o.k. next bloom season.

Thank you Mary Ann, yes the Arab's Eye was a bulb, I had three but Trixie has chewed them off just as the buds were coming, maddening. I am really pleased with the way the roses and Clematis are growing this year.
Hello Inga, Nice to say Hello to you too. I think all of us gardeners love to see plants from different parts of the world, although we have many the same as England and the cooler climates, but they don't really like our hot Victorian summer days.

Oh good Thanks for that Tricia I think that's the one I have got.
The label does not have the common name on it so its a little confusing at times I will look for it later.
