It's amazing that opium poppies are illegal in the US - they are such a cottage plant here that I think it would have been impossible to stamp them out. What you aren't allowed to do is cut them in such a way that the sap comes out and can be collected to be made into opium. Cottage gardening, yes, heroin farming, no. <BR/><BR/>Yes but I go on your blog, and it's full of all these things that I can't grow! Your Olympics post is hilarious; I once tried to compete in deadheading but sadly I got badly injured the first time I tried it and haven't been able to do any, since then.emmathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03914805260939907394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355728004231211515.post-63342421781754333422008-08-17T19:50:00.000+01:002008-08-17T19:50:00.000+01:00I believe the technical term for that Canna bud fo...I believe the technical term for that Canna bud formation is "spear shaped kind of thingy." You have so many different flowers, not one of which I grow. (Ok, I tried to grow those poppies, but it was a bit of a disaster. They were so lame, & those "breadseed" poppy seeds are so hard to find around here, you'd think they were illegal. Oh, wait, they are illegal.) Not quite, I have a very small Fuschia in a container which is being grown as an annual here.Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355728004231211515.post-35697539062954032532008-08-17T02:43:00.000+01:002008-08-17T02:43:00.000+01:00I agree, when you buy plants from a "top" nursery,...I agree, when you buy plants from a "top" nursery, everything ought to be precisely labeled!Carol Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796344366326535406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355728004231211515.post-9120781217294309882008-08-15T21:43:00.000+01:002008-08-15T21:43:00.000+01:00I like the last shot of your garden with the bambo...I like the last shot of your garden with the bamboo :0<BR/>I really like the Gladiolus callianthus - that has gone onto my "plants to buy ... sometime list"<BR/>Warm regards<BR/>KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355728004231211515.post-66912052896173120422008-08-15T13:27:00.000+01:002008-08-15T13:27:00.000+01:00oh my god, you deserve it totally.

I still haven't cut back a hebe that got wrecked in one of the rainstorms - still waiting for it to mirraculously resurrect probably. <BR/><BR/>I think I might complain to Wizzers actually. I don't mind if something from a plant fair is mislabelled, but I think from Wisley they should be tippety top. ALso, it was £12.95! Which is fecking extortion. And it's stapled to the pot, so there's no "a customer must have swapped it" excuse.emmathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03914805260939907394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355728004231211515.post-3327994454843678742008-08-15T08:51:00.000+01:002008-08-15T08:51:00.000+01:00My garden is littered with similar mislabelled spe...My garden is littered with similar mislabelled specimens :(<BR/><BR/>I like your garden view at the end - makes it feel like its absolutely miles to get back to your house ;)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355728004231211515.post-30899212794719487862008-08-14T20:58:00.000+01:002008-08-14T20:58:00.000+01:00NB I have just been looking online and I think tha...NB I have just been looking online and I think that ginger is mislabelled.
