Sundrops - I learn each day a new word. I have them also in the garden.
Rozanne is a beautiful geranium.

Sundrops are also called evening primroses, which I find a silly and inappropriate name, so I use sundrops instead. Oenothera acaulis, on the other hand, actually does open in the evening, but I don't think the whole genus should get saddled with the name.
Aha, now I know everything! How good, to have an englisch speeking teacher!
Sigrun :-))
I can't wait to see the Meadow Rue in bloom! I just planted one this spring, it's still pretty wimpy though!
Charlotte, mine didn't flower the first year. This will be its debut performance for me and I can hardly wait!
Sigrun, I spent too much time teaching. It has become something of a compulsive habit. If I know something, I want to tell somebody.
Well, the Lavender Mist turned out to be yellow mist... Not quite the same.
