nastursiums are usually orange,or red
some pink and yellow good at self setting
their down fall is the cabbage white
butterflies lay their eggs on their leaves if not monitored their caterpillars would soon finish them off
the large white butterflie have been out in force this week I,ll have to check
out the leaves soon. |

"if we are talking garden flowers i do love my lupines and fuchsias "

to purple in colour their true colour in
the wild they normally do with time. |

Their usually easy to grow from
seed thou will probabily revert back to
more a purple in colour a few years back we had some viola,s the flowers were only
about one inch long almost black in colour mid night purple similar colour
you would see in a dark velvet jacket
with a tiny egg yolk centre they seeded
well and took no room up but these did
keep their original colour strangely enough.... |

Wwell these were a bargain from Tesco`s reduced shelf at 19 pence a tray, unlabelled and looking a bit sick because they were getting dryed out. I threw them intomy water butt for a day and planted them out when I could. As you say, they will revert as most modern plants will do as it`s the way they`re raised. One of the favourites for doing this are some verigated varieties like ELEAGNUS. |
