Blue impatiens (busy Lizzy)

[dandysmom]

I have just found this on a garden forum I'm on! Apparently it's a new species, found in Tibet in 2003, Supposedly only available in the UK as seeds; one of the posters mentioned that Thompson and Morgan have it, but it's not in my new catalogue that just came. That's an incredible blue, GOT to have it! If any of my fellow gardeners here know where seeds are available, do please let me know!

I can't see it in the UK Thompson and Morgan catalogue or the Bakkers catalogue, Eileen but will keep my eyes open for it........ it's a new one to me also..

Thanks, Mags! Isn't that a gorgeous blue...you know I have a thing about blue flowers, and that is just soooo stunning!

Yes it is a stunning blue......what with your blue Ruellias, the blue impatiens and your pond, it will be like sitting by the blue lagoon next summer, Eileen!

My mum has Delphinium grandiflorum Summer Blues lovely and very blue.

I love delphiniums, but they hate our hot humid Summers! Must make do with their cousins larkspur (blue variety, of course!)
