Ruffled Sky and Ruffled Sky 2 - african violets
Amazing green ruffles! I love original and "2" variety. Among 7 plantlets I've got when propagating Ruffled Skies 2 plantlets had very curly leaves:
Ruffled Skies (7717) 06/15/1992 (Stork/Boone) Double medium blue star/white ruffled edge. Dark green, quilted. Standard.

Freesias
Honestly, I read much about the difficulties to make them to bloom and I didn't even expect them to do it. But what a luck I've got the full pot of flower stems. I love this perfume!
My freesias are coming from Poundland, the package with double-flowering plants on it (and they really are). I bought them early in January and kept bulbs high above the gas cooker as it was the warmiest place at home. Planted at the end of February at home, in a couple of weeks moved sprouts out. The most are yellow, maybe 1 or 2 are going to be the other colour.
News from my loggia - June
Some achievements and joy ... and a bit of frustration... My loggia ir quite deep, so despite south direction location, the sun can't get everywhere.
I've got some leggy plants, like antirrhinum, however it smells very well:
Balsams were decribed as low 10-15 cm tall variety. This ir the actual leggy result, looking like wild plants:
Begonias are real bargain - 19 (1 missing) plants costing 1 pound only. Could you stand up and pass by? :)
Sweet peas - I admire this fling - the start:
Pelargonium - lovely variety - I don't know it's name, but it smells good, when touched or moved by the wind - something bitterish, and even blooming:
