Morning Jane, that's rather pretty indeed

Morning Jane 💜💜

Morning Jane, lovely violet colour💜

They are pretty

Morning Jane, it’s lovely, even better that’s it’s self-seeded! Have a lovely day 😀

Thanks Jeremy. Would you like some seeds? I could send them with your rose campion ones 🤔 @jpea

Morning again Julie, thank you 💜 @juliesgarden

That would be very good of you Jane, thank you

Morning again Elise, thank you, they're lovely 💜 @Auricula

Thanks Joan, simple but beautiful 💜 @joannie.a

Morning Angela, thank you. I don't bother collecting seeds any more, I just let them do they're own thing 😂 @italydiva

The new and the old together. This is such a beautiful plant 💜💙🖤 #shoofly #nicandra-physalodes

Great photo, Jane! 💜💚🖤 This is one of my favourite plants 🥰

Thats soooo pretty💜

Beautiful indeed!💘😍

Thanks Barbara, thanks to you it's one of mine now 😘 @jacaranda

Thanks very much Katy and Shelley 😍 @gjones @ShelleySnyder

Lovely plant 💜

Very welcome Jane!💘😍

Omg it’s so like the Cobaea….the same buds, is it related 💜👌🏼

Thanks so much Diane 💜 @hkyfvr

No Elaine, this is solanaceae, cobaea is from the polemoniaceae family 👍 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Jury’s still out…..😂

Morning everyone, have a marvellous Monday. I love this plant in flower and it goes on to have interesting seed heads too so you get a long season from it 💜🤍💜 #nicandra-physalodes #shoofly

Morning Jane …me too although mine got monsters !!😂

Morning Julie, they can get very big. These are in the front garden and for some reason or other nothing is growing well in it this year 🤫 @juliesgarden

Morning Jane 💜 Fabulous photo

Bonkers !! I had to pull mine as they were blocking other plants 😬

Morning Jane 🙋 I must keep an eye out for this.

Morning Jane, I've got that it's a great colour, I must take a photo of mine to catalogue 📸

Morning Jason, thank you 💜 @hebelover

Morning Jeremy, no need, I'll send you some seeds. I must get your aquilegia Black Barlow seeds in the post for you 🌱🌱🌱 @jpea

Morning Sue. I agree, the colour is beautiful and the seed heads too 💜 @churchfarmgarden

That's very kind of you Jane, thank you 😊 @pelly

Good morning Jane 💜💜💜

Cataloguing #notmyphoto #shoofly

Be careful with grandchildren, i believe it’s poisonous?

Thanks Joan. There are conflicting reports on its toxicity but the RHS say they've never had any problems reported. I'm hoping the grandchildren will be able to come into our gardens eventually 😍 @joanboston

That’s good to know Jane, yes it would be good to have the grandkids over We always sow seeds and label them up. They are missing so much bless them

They certainly are, I miss them so much Joan as I know you do too 😢 @joanboston

The underside of these certainly belies the beauty of these flowers but I find this fascinating 🖤 #shoofly #nicandra-physalodes #undersideofflower #black

It's my first time Elise, Barbara @jacaranda very kindly sent me some seeds. The flowers are beautiful. I'll send you some 👍💜 @auricula

@pelly 👍👍👍

Thanks Gwen 😊 @gwenniemom

They’re great plants, Jane, and always a talking point! I’m so pleased you’re spreading the love 💜 😘

They are such wonderful plants, thank you for introducing me to them and I love sharing seeds Barbara 😃😘 @jacaranda

Mine are about 4/5 foot now Jane , such pretty flowers 💜

Is it sticky it looks like tar.....I have one incy wincy tiny seedling coming through from the seeds....I’m just going to leave them...

They are lovely I grew them for several years. afyer being given the seed but forgot to collect seed one time so no more shoofly plants.

Oh mine are nowhere near that but I'm loving them Julie 😃 @juliesgarden

No it's not sticky but it looks like it should be. Yes, leave it, mine were very slow compared to Julie's @juliesgarden 👍 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

I can send you some seeds if you'd like some Joan? 👍 @joannie.a

@jacaranda @juliesgarden my tiny flower #shoofly #nicandra-physalodes 💜

That’s so sweet 💜😘

Pretty, unusual leaves.. 💜

I wasn't expecting flowers for a long time, lots of lovely pollen for the bees too 😘💜 @jacaranda

They look like they've been sprinkled with black pepper Mark 😊 @solly1961

💜💜💜

If I'm successful in collecting seeds I'll send you some Elise 👍 @auricula

Thanks Julie, not quite as big as yours as you can see but at least I've got a flower 💜 @juliesgarden

Oh mine are still very tiny...💜

Oh, you can make pie! 😂 I've always heard of it but no idea what it actually is!😂 #shooflypie

Glad it’s not just me then Elaine 😍 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

I’ll send you a slice Linda 😂😂😂 @rhododendronmad

#foliagefriday love the little spots on this shoo fly seedling. Thanks Barbara @jacaranda #friendshipfriday #shoofly #nicandra-physalodes #spottyleaves

Just had to look that up Jane....it looks amazing...

Gorgeous isn't it Elaine. I still have some seeds if you'd like them? 🤔 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

I will gladly accept...thanks Jane 😉

Looking good, Jane! I haven’t sown mine yet as there’s no room in the greenhouse but that should be rectified soon! 🤞😘

I'm glad to be able to share. I'll get them in the post next time I go out. @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom 👍

Neither had I until Barbara @jacaranda put them on here @dirtgirlworld 😍

That sounds familiar Barbara 😂😂😂 @jacaranda

Thanks Jane 😘

Never heard of them but I do like the leaves 🍃

Neither had I Pearl 🤔 @fuschia
