These bright red rainforest honeycreepers have long, curved bills that are ideally suited for sipping nectar from Hawaiian lobelias. |
The beds and borders crammed with cloves and many-coloured asters, the sweet blue of the cornflower, and the little lobelias. |
But there are many bigger and more exotic lobelias, and they couldn't be more different from the types used in baskets. |
Under glass sow vegetable and flower seeds, such as peppers, cucumbers, lobelias and petunias. |
But this year, why not chuck out the chintzy trailing lobelias, begonias, marigolds and petunias, and go for something a little more unusual? |
Whitefriars Housing Association donated the hanging baskets and a selection of geraniums, lobelias and marigolds for the project. |
