The one in Toronto was quite impressive the first 2 years or so (there would be magnificent displays by the Niagara School of Horticulture for instance) but I expect it was too expensive as for at least 10 years now it is much simpler and really geared to garden businesses. There is a large flower arrangement section, which adds a nice non-commercial component to it, even if this type of arrangements has a very tenuous relation to gardening.rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-82341083678206374892014-05-29T20:21:42.224-04:002014-05-29T20:21:42.224-04:00I also have Waterperry Blue.

They do self seed though and have to be watched.<br />I grew the deep burgundy Oxalis last year but did not take it in in the fall. I got the bulbs for Oxalis adenophylla at Ontario Seed (close to you). I used to grow it in our old garden and I got it again last fall. It is a lovely little plant but the sun has to be very bright for it to open. The moment there is a cloud, they close until the sun returns.rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-87343758492063883222014-05-29T11:01:40.092-04:002014-05-29T11:01:40.092-04:00Your oxalis is a sweet little thing.

Just got one with dark red foliage and pink flowers of a friend who has it in her garden and I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing your views on Chelsea. Bet you have lots of flower shows too - wonder whether they're the same or more sustainable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-36385831346756044932014-05-29T10:36:12.744-04:002014-05-29T10:36:12.744-04:00I have quite fallen in love with my Creeping Vero...I have quite fallen in love with my Creeping Veronica. I thought that its Latin name was Veronica peduncularis, but it looks just like yours. Mine is "Waterperry Blue" and I have another one named "Blue Eyes" which is a lighter blue. Both are in full bloom now and make a carpet of blue through which the daffodils rise up.<br />The battle against the Oxalis corniculata is never ending. <br />I have grown the tender Oxalises both the white flowering ones and the deep burgundy leafed ones, but I do like your hardy wee one.<br />HelenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01882300784967557449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-10427915172194687842014-05-28T20:52:47.770-04:002014-05-28T20:52:47.770-04:00I suppose I should be glad I have never seen Oxali...I suppose I should be glad I have never seen Oxalis corniculata. It looks pretty enough. As for the weather here, as is the case in the majority of years, a couple of weeks ago you were careful to shut the door quickly to keep the warmth in, we are still quick about it but now it is to keep the cool in! Two weeks ago fields were flooded all around us, for the last 3 days I have been watering every night!rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-6608738175207238712014-05-28T09:43:14.717-04:002014-05-28T09:43:14.717-04:00Lovely plant!

And I have noticed that in Mediterranean countries the Bermuda Buttercup: Oxalis pes- caprae is an even worse pest. I can' t imagine this dainty little plant having ambitions to take over the world though.<br />Spring has been and gone here. What we have is summer. Well summer flowers, if not weather.chlorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02037607962980090244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-70943608807389116572014-05-27T13:06:39.770-04:002014-05-27T13:06:39.770-04:00The foliage is very interesting, I like it.
