Lupinus 'Pixie Delight' (Mix)

#lupin #lupin-pixie-delight #grown-from-seed

I like it much better than normal size lupins. Well done for growing it from seed. 👍👍

Ohhhh, I forgot to tell you, I got some of these to grow & had the odd flower too, but forgot to take a photo before it went over. This one's very nice. I had a bluer/purple one.

Oh I love it...😍

@ublaszko they’re much more manageable and also I prefer the colours 😛 think this mix is your kind of colour palette 😁 they’re only annuals too so easy to grow each year

@jeatacake yay! I’m so glad they grew for you 😛 the blue one is my favourite. It’s quite a unique shade isn’t it 😍

I'm going to give it a go next year. It's such a shame but I won't get to see any of the annual flowers I sowed this year because they don't like to be transplanted.

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom they’re such adorable little ones and the colours are lovely too. Nice to have an annual lupin 💕

@ublaszko oh no, that means all your climbers you sowed won’t get to climb 😢

Well done to grow them from seed Kerry...they’ll only get bigger and stronger..👌🏼

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom here’s hoping 😁

Thanks Kerry. I like them. Most of all that they flower the same year as they were sown. I'll be keeping some seeds off them for sure 👍

Ooo, I might like to have some of these. The regular size are just a bit big for my gardens at the moment.

There's definitely something about white lupins, apart from being on the long list of plants I've had no success with!😄

@lesliecole49 these would be ideal if you’re looking for a shorter variety, but they’re an annual. Not difficult to grow from seed in spring though and flower for a long period ☺️

@jeatacake you don’t have much luck with lupins? Or just white ones?

Strangely, just white ones for some reason. They either just die, won't germinate from seed or get eaten by slugs or snails while still young plants 😞

@jeatacake that’s so strange 😕 I have thought for a while that white flowering plants don’t seem to be as strong as others though. I may be wrong but they’re the ones that seem to be less successful for me too 🤔

Oh cool, thanks for that info

@lesliecole49 welcome 😁

It is odd. 🤔 I can't think of another white flowers I've struggled with off hand, but I've always been cursed as far as white lupins are concerned 😟

@jeatacake hopefully the ones I have to send will be more successful 🙏🏻

That's so very kind of you Kerry. I'll certainly give them my best shot 👍

@jeatacake you’re very welcome ☺️

I love white lupins, especially seeing them doing after most others have finished 😍

@jeatacake gorgeous aren’t they 😍 something so elegant about a white flower

Especially lupins I think 👍

@jeatacake I have to agree 😛

Beautiful

@alan1111 thanks Alan 😀

It’s a trier....

@gjones thank you Katy 😃

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom really is! 😂 only about half its dwarf height but any flowers are good with me at this time of year 😛

@columbiariver they’re a cute little annual variety and have kept on flowering for so long 💚

Yes I’ve had some do the same...they’ve obviously ran out of steam...😆

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom bless em for still making the effort 😅

Great colour 💜

This one looks beautiful

@cyndi thank you Cyndi and congrats on becoming an ambassador 🥳

@gjones they look marbled, really love this mix 😍 they don’t stick around for long do they 😔

@anges thanks Ange 😛 I’ve been impressed with the annual lupins I’ve grown this year. And no aphid infestations either 😜

That's beautiful 💜 I must have a go at these annual ones 👌

My favourite colour 😉😉

Stunning.

@bks thank you BK 😊

@jeatacake I’m saving seed for you but have no idea when the pods are ready 🙈

@ublaszko these are a lovely variety and the marbled effect is extra nice. You’d like them, they’re a short variety 😉

@novicegardenlover thanks Susan ☺️

Such pretty blues with this and the balloon flower

Oooh that's the colour I love 😊😊💙💙

@gardengirlla it’s like cornflower blue, love it 💙

Fantastic colour! Wow!

@janetandjim thanks Janet 😀 unfortunately it’s an annual but one I’ll be growing again for sure 💙

@midnightgardener isn’t it a great blue 😍

@gjones perfect blue 💙 but another annual 😐

That's a colour I've not seen in a lupin & I never knew there were annual ones too! 👌

@jeatacake they were another magazine freebie 😛 one of the better ones for sure 💙

@ublaszko isn’t it lovely 😍 sorry for it looking like I ignored your message, a load of what I replied to last night has vanished today 😫

I got your messages from last night but I'm only just catching up 😊

@ublaszko think my brain is fried from the heat 😜🤣
