Delphinium elatum 'Fenella'

Evening peeps a very wet #delphinium been non stop rain all day 💜☔💧Hopefully brighten up tomorrow as its nearly the weekend, another 11hr day to get through at work then time to chill, its been a very long busy week I'm ready for wknd 😄 enjoy your evening all 😆

You're putting in a lot of hours Keely and, boy, do you deserve a great weekend. You sure do! Let's hope it's the good one we're forecast 🌞🌞

Don’t over do it 🍸

@midnightgardener I know Chris only happens once every 5 week due to meetings n duty days so I can't grumble but it does zap you a bit, early night tonight hopefully sleep better than last night was too warm didn't get many hours 😯😵 I hope its nice got a few more zinnias to squeeze in to finish off summer borders 😆

@suerichards early night Sue then after tmz its chill time hopefully get in garden Sat/sun if weathers kind 😄

@linfoster it started off blue years ago Lin if you scroll across my pics you will see the difference in the colour over the years must be changes in soil from adding mulch n compost 😆

Evening peeps cut my foxgloves back this evening only to reveal my #delphinium hiding behind them so at least I get to enjoy another flower that's opened 💙💙💙 still hot outside so I'm catching a few rays to top up the tan n chillaxing now before I water the garden. Have a lovely evening 😆

💙💙💙

Lovely 💙

@gjones @susanhumphrey333 thank you 😄

That’s gorgeous

@kathy thank you 😄

Beautiful.....👌🏼

Wood these are excellent 👌💙

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thank you 😄

@jeatacake cheers Jeff 😊

Most welcome 👍

First bloom very delicate #lilac 💜

Love the little dash of lime!

@rachelbrooks it started off bright blue years ago just fades each year now 😊

How nice. Like having a new plant every year! Well I’m liking 2018s vintage! 😉

💜💜💜

@rachelbrooks I know must be change in soil as I keep trying to improve it each year 😄

@lexijane thanks sweetie, will be posting your bulbs tmz as I'm in office for day not been out of house since Saturday, getting cabin fever 😮

Aww fanks lovey. You’re a star 💫 Oh no I hope you’re ok sweetheart 😘

My delphinium is popping up no doubt the slimers will be too. Hopefully they will drink the beer and be Merry oppose to crossing the obstacle course!! #slugtrap #eggshells #slugbait 🐌😂

Wow only a slug in a flying cape could get past that lot!

@columbiariver that's funny Laura 😂😂

@Denise16 Finger's crossed they've took some coming back with the beast don't want to loose them now 😄

I use coral sand around my plants and finely ground glass. Helps break my soul up too

I recall a video that said to be sure the shards are crushed to very small bits so they don't find a smooth surface to go forward on. Wish you luck, dang slugs, ugh...@Keely

@Ged good idea it's always worked before but usual have coffee grounds too not had any this year as council haven't had any when we have been up 😣

@ripjuju I can just hope now got some copper tape to go down too just found that in shed so will put that around ring 😄

Hope it works! I’ve given up with them in my garden 😏 I must not buy more when I see everyone else’s here! 🙈

@rachelbrooks once they get established they are ok and are left alone it's the young shoots that suffer so determined to keep this one as it really fills a corner of the border for height 😊

Fingers crossed then lovely! I haven’t actually tried them in my dryer border...maybe I should... 😬😉

Good luck! Those Leeds slugs will find a way though! They often move my car to see what's underneath!

@lesliecole49 I have had it for about 8 years now it really needs splitting they don't flower as good otherwise, need to def do it next year 😃

Looking forward to this one already 3' tall and seems to change colour each year started off blue then pink and last year it was lilac wonder if it will turn rainbow this year🌈🌈😆

Oh wow, doing so well , exciting to see it's colour this year 👏

Think this is a bit confused either late flower or early but think jack frost will get it 😡

#blue

Must grow these 🙌🏻

@juliesgarden I've had to move these last year as they were taking over but they are coming back so its all good they are lovely

Gorgeous 💙 I've never been successful growing delphiniums but Absolutley love them, might try again this year 😊

They are lovely I have a darker blue too but cant see that coming up yet so I may have lost it but usually they r pretty hardy I do have to watch slugs n aphids early on with them. Get some they flower for ages 🌞 @mojo

I think it was the aphids I had a problem with, definitely will try again this year 👍😊
