Would you mind sharing what variety of nigella that is? At least I'm guessing it's nigella!
ReplyDeleteAre Asters and Campanula in there? Note to myself: I must get some asters with bigger heads for next year.
ReplyDeleteColchicum, Aconitum, Fuschia, Nigella, Scabiosa, Aster, Bergenia, Sweet Pea, Dahlia, Chrysanthemum, Salvia, Pennisetum (alopecuroides?), Allium, some variety of Persicaria in the back, Nerine next to Nigella? So, 15 I can spot? Not going to try for varieties or species. Nope.
ReplyDeleteAgastache, Persicaria, Salvia, Aconitum, Pennisetum, Diascia, Lathyrus, Chrysanthemum, Aster probably including 'Purple Dome' and 'La Moutiere', Dianthus, Dahlia, Allium, Nerine, Nigella, Colchicum, Scabiosa, Fuchsia does that up the ante?
ReplyDelete...and cyclamen!
ReplyDeleteIs the Nerine actually a Hosta?
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bouqet! Lovely combination of colors.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. We were all too busy naming the flowers!
