Mary-Anne, I am so envious of those nasturtiums, such a wonderful show of colour, while mine have to be kept almost under cover because of frosts. Love the Ixia and Walking Iris, also the Russian Statice. LOL. Did that cover them all?? What sort of conditions do the Walking Iris need? I have never seen them before, or the Statice.

The Nasturtium grow well here Betty and that's a big clump of many different colours.
Walking Iris grow too well here Betty its a tropical plant..
Russian Statice I grew from a packet of seeds that Cheryl sent me no names on them just that they were all pink the other ones I have here for ID came from that packet also. Ray ID them for me..

Yes it is colourful Val but very dry and so many of the flower leaves are going yellow we have only had one small lot of rain since June so any wonder.
