I swear, if I ever have a larger property, pumpkins are #1 on the list of must-grow plants!scottweberpdxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740930947767329183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596622.post-69962511993235000272012-08-18T04:59:15.708+01:002012-08-18T04:59:15.708+01:00So many fabulous blooms.

The Malva is just stunning, and so is the Cichorium!BernieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435004798656616711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596622.post-87503216304984988202012-08-16T11:02:56.514+01:002012-08-16T11:02:56.514+01:00Esther: your cat obviously thinks it's a bird....Esther: your cat obviously thinks it's a bird. Maybe I should encourage my cat to trash large areas of my crocosmia too - should keep it in check nicely...!<br /><br />Kalantikan: always nice to hear from a different gardening tradition! Pumpkins are the same the world over, aren't they. I always think their flowers are very underrated - they're some of the showiest around.<br /><br />Holleygarden: thank you. Not easy is one way to put it: downright badly behaved is another...<br /><br />Su: bother. I thought you were going to put me out of my misery there. I have a feeling it's pretty close to the species too - mine is just indestructible.

I have that very same orange day lily and blogged about it this week too - I don't know it's name either as I inherited mine too :-) Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03104140914581346288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596622.post-33393165783067503392012-08-15T23:01:23.734+01:002012-08-15T23:01:23.734+01:00I love the look of crocosmia, but I've heard i...I love the look of crocosmia, but I've heard it's not an easy plant for the garden. Your other blooms look quite charming.

But that first one i am familiar with, because most cucurbits' flowers look the same, hahaha.

There is one flower. And our cat doesn't even lay eggs!Esther Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05412078991551799972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596622.post-37448022193217060762012-08-15T11:34:24.462+01:002012-08-15T11:34:24.462+01:00Yes - think you're right.

Just the species, and totally rampant: I keep thinking I can restrict it to a little clump somewhere but it doesn't want to play.<br /><br />And chicory is quite the most gorgeous flower ever: and it comes back year after year.
