Lobelia x speciosa 'Russian Princess'

Morning everyone. My #lobelia-russian-princess has decided to flower at long last. I must get it moved though as it’s right next to one of my shasta daisies. I’m not quite sure how I managed that 🤔🙄🩷

Morning Jane. How lovely ....mine went over weeks ago 👋😯❤

Nice late colour

Mine likes to be different Pauline 🤣 @flof1952

It certainly is 💞 @joannie.a

Morning Jane.. very pretty 😍

Morning Jane 💖

Morning everyone, have a super Sunday. This is the only flower open on my lobelia Russian Princess, I think it’s too late for any more now, I need to move it to a sunnier spot 💞 #lobelia-russian-princess #pink

Morning Jane …💕.. not looked yet at what’s left here after yesterdays horrendous weather 💨💨

Morning Jane no flowers on my Lobelia just a soggy mess☔️

Morning Julie. I saw on the forecast that you we’re going to get it bad. I hope your garden is ok 🤞🤞🤞 @juliesgarden

Morning Elise. We’ll have to make the most of the next two days, it looks awful for Tuesday ☔️ @Auricula

Lovely colour 💕💕💕♥️

Thanks Chris 💞 @midnightgardener

My fabulous Russian Princess is rather late to the party but at least she’s here 💞 #lobelia-russian-princess #pink #shockingpink

Saving herself so she could cheer up a cool and grey day 😊

Now why didn't I think of that 🙂💗 @italydiva

Oolala! Beautiful Jane!💘😍

When you look that good, it's ok to be late! Gorgeous Pink! 💖🤩💖

I just love the colour of this one Shelley, thank you 💗 @ShelleySnyder

That's a good point Suzie 💞 @suzieshadow1227gmailcom

Very welcome! I don't blame you!💘😍

Beautiful colour 💕💕♥️

Thanks Chris, the dark foliage looks great against the vivid pink 💞 @midnightgardener

The Princess has taken forever to arrive, well she is from Russia I suppose 🙄😂 #lobelia #lobelia-russian -princess 22/8/19

What a gorgeous colour Jane🤗

Thanks Enid, it’s a beautiful plant. The pink shows up really well against the dark leaves @godfreye 💞🖤

That's lovely mine will take even longer after Lucy pup's interest in it! She's butchered 3 strong stalks and 2 of them were just starting to flower!! Grrrr 💕💕

Thanks Jason @Jasonsparkes1 💗💗

Thanks Elise, it's actually brighter than the photo shows @auricula 💕💕

Oh no Christine, I feel your pain @midnightgardener 😪😪

@pelly Thank you. I was upset but hopefully she'll grow out of her plant destroying phase. Otherwise it's dog repellent I'll be getting!❤❤

Lots of flowers coming on this now, it seems to have settled in well for a #rescueplant 🌸🌸

Looks really healthy Jane 💗 gorgeous contrast between foliage and flowers. 😍

It does now, it was a bit battered when I got it, but that contrast was what caught my eye Kerry @kez001uk 😍😍

Gorgeous leaves too😍

Aren't they Denise @Denise16 😍😍

This one is gorgeous Jane!💘😍

It certainly is Shelley, thanks @ShelleySnyder 😍😍

Welcome Jane!💘😍

#mondaymotivation to keep this alive through the winter 💕💕

It’s a beautiful colour ❤️

It’s gorgeous, I’ve taken some cuttings too @suerichards 💕💕

I’ve one in a border Jane. In its third year now. 🤞🏻

Where do you take cuttings from Jane?

Preferably a non flowering shoot James, take a cutting, pinch out the tip and just leave a couple of leaves. Hope this helps? @bandicoot 🤔🤔

Thanks - will try that!

#foliagefriday

Fab colour both flower and foliage 👍🏻

Me too, I bought it as much for the foliage as the flower @cyndi @pottybird42 💕💕

Now that's a real stunner! I love it!!💘😍

Me too Lynda, and even more so the fact that I got it reduced as it had a broken stem @LyndaClack 😂😂👍

It is simply gorgeous Katy @gjones 💕💕

It’s an eye catcher alright Shelley @ShelleySnyder 💕💕

I agree with you Jane!💘😍

It’s a stunner Jason @Jasonsparkes1 💕💕

Beautiful 💗💗💗

Thanks Marilyn, I absolutely love it @lovemygarden65 💕💕

Love this one Jane @pelly not got it yet but is on my wishlist already Great colour & the foliage is Gorgeous 😍😘

Cataloguing, love this 😍😍

Stunning colour contrast!

Ooooooh! I like this Jane!💘😍

That’s just what I thought Kerry @kez001uk 💜💜

Me too Shelley, I’ve got to find a good spot for it now @ShelleySnyder 💜💜

Gawjus 💕 put this in shady spot Jane the leaves fry otherwise but it's gawjus foliage 💕

You'll find the perfect spot! I know you will!💘😍

@pelly lovely coloured flowers and foliage 💜💟

I already have Shelley!! @ShelleySnyder 😍😘

I’ve found the perfect spot Keely, thanks for the advice @Keely 💜😘

My thinking exactly Ange @anges 💜💜
