Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

So pretty!!😊💕

Wow ❤️

That’s wonderful- I’ve grown some this year but they’re still small - do you dry it and put it in your tea?

Thanks everyone. I must admit Sharon that I'd never thought of making tea from it. I must say though that the leaves have a strong aroma of sage. Being in a shady & moist border, they do put on quite a bit of growth @pelly @terrimclaughlin @juliesgarden @columbiariver @sharonhayden

I think it’s the flowers that make earl grey tea🤔

I may be wrong but Earl Grey is more bergamot flavour, as in the citrus fruit. I only know as it's the only hot drink my sister ever has @sharonhayden

Oh yes you’re right- doh 🙄 I thought I’d be adding it to my tea @jeatacake

It might well make a nice tea, but a bit sage flavoured maybe? 🤔

Wow!! They're amazing and so very red ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Cheers Chris ❤❤❤❤ They do put on a good show, but are a little invasive though @midnightgardener

Love these, I lost my red one unfortunately, but I've still got the pink ❤💗

Fabulous Jeff...❤️

Fantastic looking things ❣️

Oooh I-ve got some Bergamot growing! Waiting for it too bloom 😊😊❤❤

Bonkers flowers! Love ‘em. Must try them again

Love Bergamot, so easy as well 😍😍😍

I kept some of this in the greenhouse over winter, but the main plant outside survived just fine anyway, but will do the same next winter just in case it's not as mild as last winter was @pelly

Thank you Elaine ❤ @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Cheers Kerry. I'm a big fan of these now since I got this one last year 👍 @kez001uk

The flowers formed on these very quickly, so yours should be in bloom very soon I'd say 👍 @midnightgardener

Definitely worth another go Rach @rachelbrooks

Thanks Cyndi. If they set seed (& that's a big "if" as they didn't last year), I'll send you some 🤞 @cyndi
