I think it must be too hot.<br />They have real sentimental value to me as well as my dad always grew them. ( he doesn't bother now!!)

My great Grandma used to have the biggest ones I've ever seen in the garden at the bottom of her stairs and it's one of the vivid memories I have of going to visit her. I think I also may love them because I was little and could remember the flower with the long, funny name which made me feel really grown up (at 5)!<br /><br />xx Susandaydream in colourhttp://daydreamincolour.blogspot.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981511.post-11696703455490301532012-12-19T13:54:00.143+13:002012-12-19T13:54:00.143+13:00One of my most favourite flowers too, my Grandfath...One of my most favourite flowers too, my Grandfather lived in Scarborough UK & grew the MOST magnificent ones, all colours, it seems that being near the sea helps !

I ordered the Annabel ones (white) online and planted them last year. Haven't pruned them at yet. Need to figure out how to do it properly - don't want to accidentally kill them in the process...Flepandcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829255811468297928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981511.post-21610219260014843982012-12-19T08:36:15.031+13:002012-12-19T08:36:15.031+13:00Its worth it as it really works!

So sad.<br /><br />Yours are absolutely beautiful.<br /><br />Sue xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.com
