The purple ones we call Midsommarblomster in Sweden. They grow wild on fields and in ditches and we pick the for midsummer, therefor the name. <br />Annette<br />My Rose ValleyAnnette - MyRoseValleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09778246579909568662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892698216196992963.post-33730347810493963082013-06-27T21:48:39.797+01:002013-06-27T21:48:39.797+01:00Just found your lovely blog through Jacquie.

I love the way they form neat clumps ( mostly ) and the masses of flowers. I don't know the names of mine except one a bought at a summer fair a couple of years ago . It had a label I read as " morning window" so I guessed it would be light blue. But when it flowered in was really dark maroon, almost black. I was a bit puzzled till I read the label again and realized it said " mourning widow " ! ooops. It's lovely anyway but I still need to get a blue one :0)<br />Jacquie x Jacquiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05070925194308020019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892698216196992963.post-33901254218050747492013-06-22T07:09:29.061+01:002013-06-22T07:09:29.061+01:00Lovely garden.
