Lamprocapnos spectabilis 'Alba' syn. Dicentra spectabilis 'Alba'

#white

This little thing has put on some tremendous growth from the little plant in a 9cm pot last year. I'm loving the way it hangs over the path.

Very elegant

I love these 🤍🤍🤍

Whoop! I haven't killed it. Good morning everyone from a very sunny Cumbria. I'm off to play out soon in between nurse duties (sons managed to break his arm) 😬

Morning Deborah my 2 are nowhere near flowering yet just 6” stalks just now the white one is in that photo you commented on just popping out the ground 😂 I hope your sons ok enjoy your day I’m off out with Tess it’s so lovely here today too! 💚🤍

My other is lagging behind this one too. Have a lovely walk @mich

My impatient plant is still happily doing it's own thing.

It's definitely looking much stronger now 👍

I’m with Jane they do looks stronger....👍🏼🤍💚🤍

Yes doesn’t it? It’s sending up more on another small translucent stem, I moved it onto the windowsill to cool it down, give it more light and enjoy it if it’s determined to flower now. @pelly @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

It's a good job you didn't follow my advice Deborah 🙄😂

@pelly I wavered but decided to make the decision on a daily basis as how it was looking. Its uncharted territory 😁 I've sent him to Aldi to look at mini greenhouses, it's just too warm in my kitchen, things are accelerating.

Good plan 👍😊

Just seen them in gc with flowers...just small ones though.

This cant be right, it's too small to be flowering yet surely? #question should I remove the flower stem and let it concentrate on growing instead? This is my first one so I really dont know.

Wow, interesting. Did you start these from seed,bare root? An already established plant? I ordered a bare root bleeding heart last fall. Expecting it in the mail in a couple more weeks.

@lesliecole49 no I bought this one potted, my bare root one from Wilkos is growing really well too but nowhere near flowering stage yet.

I'd leave it and enjoy it 😊 They were probably kept in a greenhouse or a warm storage place and that's why they're early.

How amazing

Wow, I think if it was mine I'd take them off. The plant doesn't look strong enough yet 🤔👍

@pelly that was my worry, it's so new its translucent

I'm surprised it's managed to flower actually 🤔

It’s trying to please you....tell it ‘ thanks but you’ll wait ‘

#cataloging my birthday money buys.

You got some great plants! Wow 😍 your garden is going to be a wonderland when they all get going 😜

Wow! You got some lovely things there Deborah 👍🏼

Thank you @kez001uk and @richard.spicer.7906 I only hope plants appear in the empty pots 🤞🏻
