When I'm not on my bike, you'll find me in my organic-ish garden in #Cumbria. Favourite plants? Wisteria, hellebores, peonies, philadelphus...

Apologies Richard. I’ve just had to repost this as had linked it to the wrong eucomis 🙄 I don’t want you to think I was deleting your comment but couldn’t work out how to do it any other way 🤨 @richard.spicer.7906

Ah no worries Jacqueline 😄 - I did notice that you had tagged it with your other record for Eucomis autumnalis but I thought maybe you were merging them just into one record. Have you still got your other one too? They both looked really nice 👌🏼

(PS I really do hope one day in GT we can edit our photos to change them to a different record, or convert to garden pic, or vice versa)

@richard.spicer.7906 I think you can do that already. I have changed mine when someone told me I classified it wrong. Just use the little pencil.

richard.spicer.7906

Ah yes, you’re quite right Linda 😊👍🏼 - what I meant to say was if you’ve accidentally linked a post to an existing record by mistake (with existing photos), you can’t then change that new photo without changing all the photos on that same record. Currently you would have to delete and repost it correctly. Hopefully that feature can be added soon 🤞🏼 @rhododendronmad

Thanks Richard (and thanks for not pointing out my error 😊) Yes I still have the autumnalis too. I must check and see if there’s any sign of flowers. And yes that would be so useful wouldn’t it 🙏 @richard.spicer.7906

You deserve to be and what a shame about the erysimum seedlings. Maybe they weren't as viable as the ones I collected last autumn. I'll send you some more later in the year, hopefully they will be more successful 👍👍

It is a shame Jane but I’d be happy to try again. Maybe I can send you some eucomis seeds, if they flower again? @pelly

Same here Jacqui, I grew it for the first time this year and would have thought it far too exotic for my wild Welsh garden if it hadn’t been for this great community! Big up GardenTags @ukgardentags

Me too Val. I had seen them in botanic gardens (Cambridge I think) but it never occurred to me that I could grow them here, until I saw people on here growing them in pots (though typically it’s been so dry here they would probably have done fine in the ground this year 🙄) @valjones-hughes
