Fabulous Kerry 💗💛

These are delightful, just so pretty

I love these! I must try growing some next year. 🥰

Never fails to come back 💖💛 #lantana #big-sage #grown-from-seed

So very pretty 😍😍

So pretty 🤩

@gjones @hkyfvr @KOutdoors @italydiva thanks ladies 😃 have 2 plants I grew from seed that Cyndi sent me 🥰 never expected they’d make it through their first winter but they’ve been going for over 3 years now, happily living outdoors all year round 💖💛 the buds are my favourite part. Remind me of origami 😛

Always welcome 😍 The buds are awesome 😁

#lantana #big-sage #grown-from-seed

I love the tiny buds on these 💗💛💗

Must get this one 💗🧡

So very pretty 💛💗🧡

@pelly @juliesgarden @hkyfvr @gjones they’re adorable little flowers, so uniform 💖💛 just wish the leaves were a little less pungent 😝

Oh dear. Must go out and take a sniff of mine. I have allergies and missed the excitement. 🤣🤣

@hkyfvr me too but no amount of hay fever could stop those fumes 😂 only really notice if after touching the leaves though

Had a sniff of them and they are pretty pungent. I never seem to notice I guess. I must not touch them much. 🤣🤣😁

@hkyfvr you were lucky to have avoided it so long 😂

🤣😂🤣

So happy it’s back after a winter outdoors 🙈 #lantana #big-sage #grown-from-seed

It's done well after the winter we had 💛💗💛

So very pretty. Love the colours Kerry. 💛💗🧡

Gorgeous!! 🥰

@pelly it surprised me! I thought it would be the first thing to bite the dust. Back with a vengeance though 😁

@hkyfvr they’re amazing little flowers aren’t they 🤩 like origami boxes opening up 😍

@BetweenTheDirt thank you Michy 😁 it’s a favourite 💖💛

They are amazing and I do love the way they open. Special little flowers. 💛💗🧡

Wow, I'm amazed it survived winter outside 😲 I left one out over winter as an experiment but I wasn't surprised at all that it didn't make it! 😏

@gjones such a lovely combination 💖💛

@jeatacake it was in Greta’s tumble dryer jet stream 🤫🤣

😆😆😆

Doesn’t look like much but so pleased these have returned after being left outside all winter 😁 #lantana #big-sage #grown-from-seed

It survived! Happy days 😁

Grown from seed, amazing. I look forward to seeing it in flower ♥️♥️🧡🧡

@alan1111 I may have got a little excited when i saw new growth 🤭

@midnightgardener it’s such a pretty one when it flowers. Last year it bloomed so well. You can see if you scroll back 💖💛

I love when your in the moment like that. Have been known to do a little happy dance 🕺😂

@alan1111 sometimes has to be done 😉😅

😂

#lantana #big-sage #grown-from-seed

Is that Hammy the hamster lurking in the background?🤔😁

Yep, the background caught my eye more than anything 🤣 @jpea I love your gardening buddy, Kerry!

Do you not lose them in the garden....😮

Seeds for next year 👍

Love this plant. Reminds me of holidays.

@jpea it is but he’s a stone, non-bitey one 😂

@jmlincoln even after 3 years I still see it out the corner of my eye and thing one of my pigs has escaped 🤣

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom he’s just a realistic ornament thankfully. Wouldn’t dare let the real ones out cos they’d eat through everything! Pig by name... 🤣

@jeatacake they’re all tied in bags now 😛 assuming they dry and drop off when they’re ready?

@jendren it’s so tropical looking isn’t it ☀️ as close to a holiday as we will get for a while 😜

@cyndi forgot to add a seed id tag 😜 thank you 🙏🏻

#lantana #big-sage #grown-from-seed

The colours are so fresh 💗💛💗

Love those colours. 🌸💕😊

Fabulous 😍

@pelly aren’t they lovely 💖 fruit salad sweets in a flower 😋😅

@gjones couldn’t agree more 💗💛 and they’re always covered with critters too

@ukjohnny thanks John 😀

@hkyfvr thank you Diane 😃

@jeatacake thanks Jeff 😄

#lantana #big-sage #grown-from-seed

@cyndi this is how big they’ve grown in one season 😂

Look nice and healthy 👍

Lovely looking plant, the colours are beautiful 💗💛💚

That's a great result 👍 I must try one of mine outside next year 💗💛

@alan1111 thank you Alan 😊 they’ve done so well, even if they’re occasionally strangled by the passionflowers behind them 😂 free plant support 🤣🤣🤣

@cyndi there’s 3 in a big pot but think they need their own homes now they’re growing up 😅 I noticed some berries a couple of weeks back and they’re just turning dark. I’ll put some bags on them so the blackbird doesn’t have them! 😜 thanks Cyndi ☺️

@pelly thank you Jane 😁 it’s gone crazy but won’t mind this getting big 😛

@jeatacake thanks Jeff 😄 you should! I took them in the greenhouse last winter but they’ve been out since early spring and handled everything that’s been thrown at them

How is the garden holding up to the storm mine has had it bad form the last one and I can see plants down already today 😕

@cyndi oh no 🙈 they’re not built to house a cat 😂 I had no idea they got so big!!! Need to keep mine in check since it’ll need to go in the greenhouse for winter again 😜

@alan1111 I’m sorry yours is taking a battering 🙈 hope you’ve not had too much damage 🤞🏻 it only started here about 6 so just getting going. A few pots have gone over but I daren’t look outside now 😰

#lantana #big-sage #grown-from-seed

So pretty 💕💕💕

@pelly thank you Jane 😀

@cyndi it really does seem to like it’s sunny spot next to the passionflowers, even though they keep trying to strangle it 🤣 the 3 plants must be almost 2 feet high now! You give good seed 😛

@gjones it’s the loveliest combination of colours 💗💛 the flowers are about an inch big

@columbiariver it’s like tiny origami isn’t it 😛

@cyndi 🙏🏻😘

#lantana #big-sage #grown-from-seed

What stunning colours 💖

I love the pink and yellow together 💖💛💖

So pretty 💗💗💗👍

Beautiful colours 😊💛💖

Fabulous 💗💛

Really beautiful 🌸

@kez001uk that's beautiful

Reminds me of sweets, dolly mixtures! Beautiful!

Beauty 💛🌸🤍

@suerichards thanks Sue 😊

@pelly thanks Jane ☺️

Sun vs shade #lantana #big-sage #grown-from-seed

Total perfection....💛

Looking good 💛 Are these the ones that turn pink in the middle?

Just too cute 💛💛💛

So pretty 💛

Beautiful florets💛, unusual flower

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom they really are 😍

@jeatacake this past week they’ve gone from a few leaves to big plants! Was shocked to see the transformation in just a few days 😜 they are the same as yours I think. Seeds Cyndi sent me ☺️

@pelly thanks Jane 😀

@lovemygarden65 thank you Marilyn 😃

@solly1961 thanks Mark 😄 they look like little origami boxes that open up into tiny flowers 💛

@gjones thanks Katy 😁

#lantana #big-sage #grown-from-seed

@cyndi thanks to you 😉😉

They have bloomed at your location!!?

@kaporyash they flowered in summer and are blooming again now but in an unheated greenhouse. I’m surprised they’re doing so well too 😂

@cyndi they’ll be getting a pot upgrade in spring as I have 3 in a little trough at the moment. I would love if they got huge 😍

@kez001uk It’s pretty but does it have the nasty smell that some sage plants have? 🤔

@pixierose it does but nowhere near as strong and it’s not as ‘soapy’ smelling either. Much more tolerable 😅

From seed !! That's impressive 😀😀

@sherrisgarden thanks Sherri ☺️ they were only started last spring and it’s their second flowering already 😛

#lantana #big-sage #grown-from-seed

Wow!!! I bought a fully grown one but it didn’t survive last winter. I might have a go from seed too. Loving your nails chick👌🏼💅🏼😍

Looking good (& not just the nails!) Mine are struggling now but will be fine the greenhouse & survive winter

I'd never thought of growing one from seed, did they germinate easily? Will have yo give that a go 😊

@lexijane I have these in the greenhouse so no doubt that’s keeping them alive 😜 but the seed grown ones are much stronger than the 2 fully grown ones I bought. Well worth trying from seed 😁 and thank you, I’m as addicted to nail polish as I am plants 🤣

@jeatacake thank ya Jeff 😛 a couple of mine are looking ropey but these are doing better now than when they were outdoors in summer!

@angiecrazycatlady they germinated no problem, i just sowed them in seed compost and did nothing but water occasionally. They’re definitely worth giving a go ☺️

I never tried mine outdoors. I think they need a good summer like we had in 2018. Mine have been trying to flower in the greenhouse, but the buds didn't open. Happy for them just to survive.

@jeatacake I think I’ll do the same and keep mine in the greenhouse this year. Might get better results. Exactly, so long as they get through the winter 😁

@cyndi 💗💛💗

Lovely 👍🏼💛💞💛

Will that stay in the garden or will you have to bring it in

@cyndi thank you 😀 my first “Cyndi seeds” success 😁

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thanks Elaine 😃 still get excited when a seed-grown plant flowers 😅

@alan1111 I’ll bring this and the red/yellow one into the greenhouse. Don’t want to take the risk as I adore these plants and this one I grew from seeds from Cyndi ☺️

Don't want to risk you little baby 😜

@cyndi then I can pass them on to the next person 😁

@alan1111 noooo, I’m trying to get a collection of colours 😛

It’s a great feeling 👌🏼

This one's looking just like mine. Same seeds I think from @cyndi BTW, mine survived just fine in a largely unheated greenhouse over winter 👍

@jeatacake big sage twins 👫 beautiful colour combination isn’t it 😛 and looks much better than in my photo too 😍 I’m so glad to hear that, they’ll be going in the greenhouse very soon 😁

So excited for my first flowers on this. Grown from seed back in spring. Thank you @cyndi

@gjones apologies, they were from Cyndi but had been sorting seeds for you and confused myself 😂

Can't wait to see these fully open too 👍

@jeatacake here’s hoping there’s enough sunshine left to get them flowering 🤞🏻

@cyndi thanks Cyndi 😁 wasn’t expecting them to flower this year so was excited to find a few buds 🤗

Could be asking a lot! 😌

@jeatacake it’s gorgeous here today and has been for a week or so. Looks nice for at least another week too. But still don’t think it’ll be enough to get the remainder of my flowers flowering 😫

You're lucky. We're in the dull & murky half here. Rained for most of the morning, with no sign of the sun. Maybe tomorrow 🤞

@jeatacake it’s always too much one way in this country 😂 too wet or too dry 🤣 hope you get a sunny week 🤞🏻

Cheers Kerry. Couldn't be more dismal than today! Oh that reminds me. My daughter's partner is a landscape gardener & also said he'd heard we're in for the worst winter for 30 years! 😱

@jeatacake I’m sorry to hear that 😔 oh god, looks like it may not have been scaremongering then 😩 dreading the thought of a terrible winter 😥

Me too 😧 Maybe he just read the same newspaper? 🤞🤞
