Ribh's D'Coopage

Me too. I love the ones with scented foliage as well. The scent is there all year round especially after rain or when the sun hits them.

Do you have any native mint bushes in your garden Ribh? Mine get covered in purple flowers in spring and smell heavenly.

I couldn't get a good enough photo of mine but this is what it looks like:

They're sisters but they approach broodiness very differently.
Alpia is still sweet but Wrold is a little demon.

Such pretty girls!

That's beautiful!

That's not actually my bush, it's an internet photo. But mine looks just as good, I just couldn't get a photo to do it justice!

It's a pity that I can't share the scent.

@Ribh your ladies made the facebook page!!!

I was scrolling through Facebook and stopped at this picture and thought to myself 'Oh Campine's! I bet Ribh would like these.' Then I looked a little closer and thought 'those leaves look an awful like Ribh's' then it finally hit me that it was indeed your beautiful girls!!

Thanks, CCCL! I shut down my FB because it was driving me crazy so I'd never have known.

Those are just beautiful and I'm not a fan of purple normally

I luuuuuuurve purple!

A well chook I wouldn't think twice about but we're not talking an hour or 2. We're talking pretty much a full day excursion ~ a lot of it in heat or wind. I know it's a risk waiting but I have to weigh that against everything else. I don't just stick her in the car for a 1/2 hour drive. She's in & out of cars, bumpy boat rides [our weather is rather wild just now], hiked along a hot road to where we park our car, & she's really, really fragile. So yeah...You might choose differently & if she gets worse so might I but for now...

That's a huge trek.[/QUOTE]

When I was choosing plants for my native garden my main criteria were 1. plants from the local area, 2. preferably blue or purple flowers.

And I meant to add I am super impressed you recognised Campines when you saw them ~ let alone that they were mine!
