Fried Egg Plant ~ I was once told it's impossible to rid your garden of it. With hard work and diligence, I proved them incorrect.
ReplyDeleteWe started with just six plants, Deborah
DeleteLimnanthes douglasii: Never fails to amuse me that this and the Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) are both named in honour of Scottish plant hunter David Douglas. Ironically for the man who introduced a whole range of pines to the UK the tree's Latin name refers to one of his rivals. Small compensation to be given the poached egg plant. (He also introduced the Flowering currant and Californian poppy)
ReplyDeleteThe cut throat business of plant hunting eh?
DeleteBlue flowers are pretty!

DeleteI love Poached Egg Plants but they don't seem to want to grow in my garden.
ReplyDeleteHow strange - ours grow like weeds, JO These have been thinned out once!
DeleteSo lovely, especially the Aquilegia. I'll be planting 'Barlow Mix' in the garden this week but it's anyone's guess which colour(s) will pop up.
ReplyDeleteProbably more colours in future too courtesy of cross pollination. Margaret. We get diffferent shapes and sizes too
