Orlaya Grandiflora

Lots of lovely little snowflakes popping open thanks to mi lovely Jayne @jaynehynesburton who grew these from seed as mine always fail 😘❄❄❄

They look lovely 😘

They’re gorgeous. The slugs ate mine ☹️

@houseofflowers awe darn slugs I made sure these were quite established before I put them in as usually struggle in my wet soil but as we had good weather they've done fab 😊

Just love them! Little flowery doilies! Mine is doing really well too 😘 @jaynehynesburton

They are pretty me Rachel 😘 @rachelbrooks

@rachelbrooks me too Hun need to plan it's spot better although Summer plants are growing a bit more now so they should catch up 😄

That's really pretty 😍

@hayleyaj so many flowers on one plant going to try save some seeds as they were quite expensive for seeds from Sarah Raven 😄

@vec thank you hun 😄

Fabulous. 😍

Always love the white against the dark green foliage😊💕

@terrimclaughlin loads more opened up today such a pretty plant 💚😄

First flowers starting to bloom

Looks like white chocolate curls! I can’t believe I’ve never had these before! They’re so pretty 💚

@rachelbrooks I love the feathery foliage too Rachel did these from seed got 3 out of 6 so will sow more next year now I know how they grow 😄

I’ll just buy them for a quid at Harrogate again! 😆😆

@rachelbrooks Funny I didn't see them had my hands full 😬😂

Sown from seed Feb 18

I like the look of this. Not familiar with it Keely, so looked at pics on Encyclopaedia. It's lovely 😊

@susanhumphrey333 I got plugs last year Sue that were lovely so bought seeds from Sarah Ravens for this year only 3 out of 8 sprouted though bit disappointing as they are quite expensive seeds you only get about 30 to packet, need to see if other places do them really 😄

Will have to look out for them. Can it be sewn direct when it warms up?

@susanhumphrey333 it probably can Sue as its a bit like a wild flower with feathery foliage

Just googled it and March to April direct Keely 👍

@susanhumphrey333 nice one 🌱👌

Seedlings 31.01

Love the flowers on this one Keely. I wasn't familiar with it, so had a look

Lovely shot 🖒

Beautiful

Love this Keely @Keely 😍😘

@vinny100 @jadojado29 thanks Gary and Suzie got seeds of this to do next year 👍😊

I would normally get excited about new deliveries for the garden but with whats happened this year so far i am losing any hope of it looking nice this year and may as well spend my money on myself!!! These will be going in summerhouse as still blowing a gale here spent an hour tidying up after work and to top it off the slimers have eaten 3 dahlias too 😤😫😣

Chin up Keely. At least it isn't all covered in snow, and you still have lots of color in your garden😍😁😎

@Keely same here! Still blowing a gale,tidied up a bit this morning but more damage during the day today! And don't talk to me about slimers lol! 😔😳😊

@SikoMa thanks Dar not much left to flower with damage everything is really struggling due to storm my only hope of anything at the minute is my cosmos as they seem to be OK so far so i will at least have a couple of flowers for Summer 😑

@Leroybe Leon im really losing hope after walking round tonight everything is even more damaged and we are due more rain n wind again tomorrow. I think all the rain has brought the slimers out I've done well in garden but never checked pots until tonight and they have munched away through 3 of my best ones from last year which had already been bashed by hailstone so not holding out much hope of them to flower now 😣

😔🙁😢

@Keely I know it's never easy accepting the damage nature does sometimes,especially when you've just got it looking good! I've got two hostas in pots,checked them today & there's not much left just holes lol! Chins up though..this is gardening & it gives so much more,hopefully this time next week it'll be hot & dry! Oh and calm. 😔🤔😊👍🏻

@Leroybe thanks Leon I do hope so or I'm moving to sunnier climates 😃

So sorry you feel so down about the garden. I totally understand though. It's so frustrating when you spend time & money on it & it gets destroyed by the weather. Big hugs 🤗😘

I still think your garden looks good though 🙌😊💚

Aww , don't worry Keely , will soon bounce back with a bit of sun , it is soul destroying though when you put in such a lot of hard work I know 😘😘

That's the thing about gardening. Always a challenge both with and against nature
