I guess I\'m just not diligent enough about watering/feeding my potted brug. He\'s a pitiful comparison with those beauties. I\'ll try again next year.
My aconitums are still going strong. I posted pictures of Aconitum \'Bicolor\' a few weeks ago - I thought it was disappointing, but hoped it would improve when came into fuller bloom. But alas, it\'s in full-tilt bloom now and still a sprawling (nearly lying on the ground), muddy mess (pics 1&2). Interestingly, I found what must be a seedling of it in a shadier portion of my woodland and the blooms look pretty good (pics 3&4). The original plant is in a very moist sunnier position. Maybe the plant can look good in the right exposure/soil.
