Hosta Flowers Hurry Up!

I’ve been trying to get these two hosta accent plants to produce flowers in time for the club display this weekend. I put them in a shady corner in the poly tunnel hoping the extra heat will boost them on. One isn’t looking hopeful but the other one might just make it.

I love the long stalks with purple flowers dangling from the end. One of my favourite accents.

Accents

A few more. They still need to fill out but they are starting to look the part.

Wild Strawberry

Sea Thrift and Aquilegia

A few more accents flowering today. I was at the rocky north coast last Summer and I noticed a few little Sea Thrifts and other bits and bobs growing among the rocks. This one was growing in a tiny crevice and was easy to pop out into into a pot on my return home.

This is a dwarf variety of Aquilegia. This is actually the tallest I have ever seen it flower!! Usually only a few inches tall.
