Eryngium planum

Morning folks, well if we were short of rain we're certainly no longer after yesterday's weather and the downpour in the early evening. Not ideal as a lot of my plants, not these, are somewhat battered 😏

Still no rain here and none forecast for the next ten days 😢💙💙

We had about a dozen drops 💦🙄

We’ll I think you should share it 😂😂

Not good Jane, Christine, Julie and I wish I could share it. PleSe bear in mind it's not just the flowers and grass that grows, it's the darn weeds going mental @pelly @vegandmore @juliesgarden

Even they’ve given up Jeremy 😂😂😂

It would seem my weeds are drought tolerant Jeremy and Julie 🤪🤣 @juliesgarden

Good morning JP we had rain too.I love Eryngium 🤗

I'm sure they will all spring back to looking fabulous after the rain👍👍

Morning folks, on a bright sunny morning weather-wise here. Bit of a winter feature, enjoy the day all

Morning Jeremy, thanks and enjoy yours too 💙

Morning Jane 🙋 @pelly

Now this was planted in the front main bed with the purple/blue colour scheme- it doesn't look purple to me!

Morning JP.. definitely not blue lol

@juliesgarden if it stays that colour it'll be moved to the other side of the steps into the 'hot' bed

Are you sure it’s sea holly, I’ve never seen one that colour? 🤔

Agreed Jane, I thought it might turn purplely-blue but it looks more like a scabious though it's on a tall stem @pelly time will tell

Yes, I wondered about scabious 🤔

@pelly maybe even knautia? 🤔

Oh yes, they're very similar aren't they 👍

Morning folks on a very wet start, at least the garden will benefit even if I can't play outside.

Morning Jeremy, it's the same here, downright miserable ☔

Morning Jane, it's been a longtime since I've had to put the lights on in the morning @pelly

I know, it's horrible 😢

Morning folks, bright, still but cool start here, almost autumnal. This was a small plug at the end of spring now look at it. Have a fab Friday all

Morning JP, that's done well! 💙😃

Morning Ange, its quite architectural

Oh ergy n go! I saved only two flower spikes fir drying, the wind got the rest!

@thehardygardener this is after the two recent storms Aly though it does need a bit of support now

I need more branches in my life!

Morning Jeremy, love these 🙋‍♀️💙

So close now to seeing my first time of growing this plant.

Love these 💙💙💙

Just to let you know I went shopping for the missing guttering I needed so I'm cataloguing my £3 bargains 😀
