Railroad wine blossoms are open from early morning until little into afternoon - then the blossom close - to open next day again. Blossom is almost all year-round specially during hot and sunny season.

Strawberry runners to multiply plants. There are 2 methods to obtain new plants. Strawberry seeds - the small / tiny grain outside each strawberry is one such method. Seeds are tiny and as a general rule of thumb, the smaller a seed, the more delicate to actually grow a plant out of a seed.
Strawberry plants however are more commonly multiplied by use of runners. After each strawberry season, each plants grows several runners. As you see from below photo, a runner grows in an arch away from the plant and after approximately 20cm touches ground again. That is where the runner starts to grow leaves and roots - while continuing its runner growth. Each runner may grow up to approx 1 meter length and have several small plants.

It's always interesting to earwig on conversations at a flower show, you can't really help it when there are so many visitors, and everyone's got their own ideas as to what makes a great show garden or exhibit. One comment I hear time and time again is how inspiring the gardens are and how they're going to try to copy 'that' colour scheme or 'this' style of planting. The thing that I'm going to take away and copy from this years show is not plants but paths.
The back to back gardens are very good for hard landscaping ideas and I spotted a brick edged path in-filled with pebbles stuck into concrete, much like a mosaic. Or, there's a stone path with grass instead of mortar and something more contemporary, a metal grid suspended over a bog garden - almost like a bridge. However, the one that I'm going to copy at home is the path in 'The Garden for Bees'. It's a gravel path planted with an informal drift of thyme, which smells as good as it looks. The good news for me is that I've already got a gravel path, all I have to do is add the 'thyme' and once the flower show is over, I'll have the 'time' to do it. Info from:
