They certainly do look the part!

They are certainly very happy and growing well for you. Maybe Lemon Sorbet as Chiffon tends to be white with a yellow face.

Totally agree - I often use Viola 'Lemon Chiffon', and did so in the welcome planter.

The ones in the urns are Viola 'Honey Bee' as the colours work better with the tulips that are planted.

I'll pop round with my glitter, so they're ready for the festive period 😉

It will be an exciting chapter.

Yes, I prefer the violas to the pansies in planter and such a good range now.

Ahhh yes, the continental buying system is so much smoother. Portugal is the same, offer with deposit and then it's much straightforward from that point.

Haha, I'm sure you'll be getting a garden together in no time!

Ideal!

And mind blowing scent too!

Haha! No beef or lamb though. 😉

A rich, warm tone could look amazing.

I can't recall the last time I had a roast dinner, let alone a carvery.

Is it a sunny or darker room?

Evening all. A Highlight has been the late flowering annuals & perennials. A low? The first frosts arrived late last week & have finally put an end to the Fuchsia 'Delta's Sarah's' flowers, turning the blooms into armless ballgown wearing zombies. Mind you, it was late November! #GardensHour 🌱
