Break the Rules!














I cannot believe the prolific blooming of these sweet peas.
They are glorious and just going on forever.
I have never planted them before because I always missed the deadline for planting in March.


How silly is that really, considering the temperate Brisbane climate?

For all of the Brisbane gardeners out there, I broke the rules and planted a couple of punnets of seedlings in the middle of May! 
 Now I feel I have missed out on these beauties for all of these years! 
....but, I am really enjoying them now.

Hello Pam!
I love sweet peas but I don't grow them as living close to the fields each Summer we have and invasion of thrips or thunder flies as the locals call them, and they play havock with sweet peas. Tour tea cups are SO pretty too.

Thank you for your sweet visit, I hope you weren't too scared!
Best wishes

Lovely photos of the sweet peas; I can practically smell them! Ours were planted too late so they were rather disappointing. I also love all those fabulous wallpapers, they are very inspiring.

I use to sell this line in my store before I closed and the day I found out they had discontinued this one I ran it to the house.....it took my husband a month to recognize the new found item...hehe!
