        :dbgrtmb: Looking good Logan. Is that Lavender coming out? I love Lavender. If so, do you make Lavender bags?

          Thank you Victoria, yes it is and i do dry a lot of it but not for Lavender bags, I sprinkle some on the carpet and vacuum it up, the fragrance goes through the vacuum and makes the room smell nice for a while.

              @pete did you grow your Asclepias from seed? I and a few others here are trying them but my seedlings have got to 3" tall and stopped growing. Any ideas please?

                off the top of my head, either blue distel or blue steel, my thoughts are blue distel, I'll have a look and see if I can find a defo for you.
                Only reference I can find is to blue distel, I remember I had it from Wilko.

                      Yes Sheal, from seed last year, I'm not sure which Asclepias it is, @CarolineL sent me some seeds, I started out with 4 plants to overwinter but only one plant surfaced this year.
                      I think they like heat, hence in the greenhouse.

                          Thanks Pete. :) I stratified them outside over the winter as suggested on the packet and I brought them into my utility room early spring. I've just re-potted them in a different compost to see if that makes a difference.
