Good morning GTers! There's not much flowering in the garden at the moment, but these little Virginia #stock blooms are still popping up in quite a few places! Have a marvellous Monday everyone! 😀

@KelsiBriana - Thanks very much Kelsi! 😀

Morning Ian @bigemrg well isn’t she a sweet little thing 💜. Hope you have a lovely start to the week Ian 👍

@jadojado29 - Good morning Suzie! She certainly is! I'm available for work again today but am hoping to get a couple of more days off before being deluged again! 😀

@anges - Morning Ange! 😀

Very sweet 💜💛

@rachelbrooks - Thanks Rachel! 😀

Good morning GTers! These Virginia Stock blooms have been making me smile all through winter, growing up through some cracks in my patio! I haven't got the heart to pull them out and am even thinking of scattering more seeds over the patio area! Have a marvellous Monday everyone! 😀 #virginiastock

They are gorgeous I've not heard of them before. How big are they 😍

@angiecrazycatlady - They're quite small flowers, just over 1cm in diameter, and they grow about 15-20cm tall! You can get a night scented variety that have a wonderful fragrance in the evening! 😀

Oh I've heard of night scented stock I have some seeds I haven't down yet but they didn't look as pretty as yours on the packet I think they were doubles 😊

Oh wow , how pretty.💕💕

@juliesgarden - Aren't they Julie? It would be a shame to pull them out! 😀

It’ll be a lovely pink carpet 💕💕👍

Morning Ian @bigemrg Beautiful dainty flowers No don’t pull them out they are Gorgeous Ian 👌💕👍

@jadojado29 - Morning Suzie! Don't worry, I'm going to leave them and weed around them! 😀

So pretty glad you are leaving them 😍

Morning. Such gorgeous little blooms! 🌸 yes scatter more! Nicer than the weeds that appear in mine 😉

@kathy - Thanks Kathy! They're one of the only things flowering at the moment so I'd better leave them! Wish my Tulips would hurry up! 😀

Good morning GTers! I was very surprised to see this Virginia Stock plant still flowering in a sheltered spot in the garden! It's just one of the images featuring in my weekly photo #blog which you can see at the following link if you're interested - www.bigemrg.co.uk/blog/latest Have a terrific Thursday everyone! 😀 #virginiastock #stock
