Just doesn't work. Tried it. Failed. Many times.<br /><br />Karen - I'm ambivalent at best on the heuchera front myself but just occasionally a really pretty one turns up. This is just such a plant. Possibly because it doesn't look much like a heuchera :D<br /><br />Diana - really interesting, I wondered where it came from and why I'd never seen it before. It's truly lovely: I wonder if they're trying to return it to its natural habitat again.

Had to find cream late flowering tulips to go with, then some burnt orange - you know how it goes. Finally got some Sternbergia bulbs too.<br /><br />It was stiflingly hot at midday. To avoid the queues, we'd brought lunch with and found a bench hidden away in the wild garden, shielded from the sun by two layers of tree canopy. <br /><br />Must get my strength up now for Malvern at the end of the month.<br />Blue Shed Thinkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988028935854371365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596622.post-42112025414812229372012-09-07T17:58:32.737+01:002012-09-07T17:58:32.737+01:00Very nice pictures.Very nice pictures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596622.post-25909319703752047792012-08-20T16:37:09.812+01:002012-08-20T16:37:09.812+01:00Juliet, for the fragrance, altho I don't grow ...Juliet, for the fragrance, altho I don't grow sweet peas.
