Hi Sally, my blue geraniums have tight buds on, the pink one has a sprinkling of open flowers, my oriental poppies are still tight buds, so you must have had it a bit warmer were you are the Osteospermum is going for gold, and is the same colour as yours my Acanthus has gome nuts too!!!!!! magz

Magz must be the right growing conditions for the Acanthus, last year it was really disappointing when it flowered so I am hoping that this year will be spectacular
My Cistus bush flowered last year but only a couple of flowers at a time, this year it is covered in gorgeous creamy flowers and looks fab Sally

Hi Sharon Yes Geraniums can get a bit out of hand if you let them, last year my Dad told me that when the flowers have finished to cut it right back to the ground, I did and it came back the same year with even more flowers, my Blue/Purple geranium is like a bush and looks grogeous when the sun shines on it Happy Gardening Sally

You are welcome Sharon
When you cut it back, go as short as you can, it wont look very nice but you should get all new growth and better flowers Let me know how it goes Sally |
