Love this plant!

💞

Beautiful, so very pretty 💕💕💓💓♥️

So do I Joan and it flowers for so long doesn't it 💗 @joanboston

I'm not too far behind you 🌸 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Thanks Chris, such a worthy plant 💗 @midnightgardener

I find deadheading it quite therapeutic Jane, it really prolongs flowering

I agree Joan and it’s also a chance to check whether there are any little pests lurking ☺️ @joanboston

Morning everyone, I've been trying to post this for two hours, is anyone else having problems? My #mondaymotivation is to grow these from collected seeds. I'm not having much luck so far though , any #advice would be most welcome 💗

Morning Jane. Mine self seed all over the brick path .....loads of free plants thankfully 👋🙂

Morning Jane 🙋‍♂️ mine has grown well but not produced a single stem or flower, maybe next year...

Yes. I obviously had problems as I seem to now have the same photo on four times 🤣🤣

Morning Pauline, I’m hoping mine self seed in case the seeds don’t work next time I try 🤔 @flof1952

Hi Jeremy, I got two lots of these at different times, the second lot didn’t flower, hopefully they will next year 🤔 @jpea

@pelly I brought mine with me when we moved as it flowered so well, wish I'd brought the white one too

Morning Jane , that’s lovely ☺️

Whoops 😂😂😂 @jendren

I didn’t realise there was a white one. I’ll have to look out for that 👀 @jpea

Morning Julie, thank you, I only got them this year and I love them 💓 @juliesgarden

@pelly it's called Lychnis 'alba'

Morning everyone, the sun is shining and the birds are singing, it’s going to be a lovely day, enjoy 🙋‍♀️ #rose-campion #shastadaisy-real-charmer

Morning Jane 🙋‍♂️ your campion is in full flower, mine is still all leaves, not even a stalk in sight yet

Woohoo sunshine! 💛

Morning Jeremy, there is a man around the corner from me who sells his excess plants off for his charity. These cost me 60p each and they were full of buds. I see he’s got some more out, guess where I’ll be going today 😍 @jpea

Woohoo indeed Dan 🌞🌞🌞 @dan5584

I'd be right beside you Jane, we have a donation table at our local shop which is fine but its only got some straggly tomato plants now so I visit most plant stands at the shops @pelly

Morning Elise, thank you. I’m quite impressed with myself as for once it wasn’t an accident 😂 @auricula

It’s such a cheap was of buying plants. If I have any odd bits of change I always sling it in the pot because the plants are worth so much more 👍 @jpea

Agreed, its such a shame to throw excess plants away when charities can benefit @pelly

It’s such a good idea. We do the same in our village. £1 for each plant which then goes to charity. Everyone wins and no poor plants wasted 😊

Morning, sunny here too.

Morning Jane, enjoy the sunshine! 🌞🌞🌞

Cataloguing. I've wanted this for ages and my little man round the corner was selling them at 50p each.....bargaIn 💖

Fantastic bargain!! Wow! They will be fab. All hail to the little man round the corner 💕💕

Great choice Jane. Fortunately they self seed 👍🙂

Definitely Christine, he sells them for charity so I like to buy off him, I've had a few lovely bits from him 😍 @midnightgardener

Thanks Pauline, that's good to know 😊 @flof1952

Can’t wait to see the shade of pink it it....💕

50p are you having a laugh 🙄

@pelly He sounds like a wonderful man. Knowing me I'd have paid him more. I've got some seedlings of it in my garden so I'll see if they do anything 💕💕

Good for you! You'll love them Jane!

What a bargain ....I'll just nip round and get some 😂

Me neither, it's been on my wish list for ages Elaine, his are flowering now, hopefully these won't be long 💖 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Nope!! I got a tiny mahonia cutting from him a few weeks ago for 60p Sue, it's ready to pot on now 😍 @suerichards
