Author Message   Richardh  Posted on Sunday, August 17, 2008 - 06:11 am EST :    Second year flowering,over 100 blooms,on large metal obelisk in mixed herbaceous border where the colour blends perfectly with phlox,lythrum,aconitum and monarda. I call this 'Margaret Irene'for my wife,who on 27th.July opened her garden for National Gardens Scheme charity,had 434 visitors,and was rushed into hospital for emergency major operation 8 days later. Many thanks to all her many relatives,friends and neighbours. Now back home recovering.

So sorry to hear about your wife's medical problems and I do hope she's on the mend now. 434 visitors...that's quite a showing!
