Lovely Carole, great graduations in colours nice painting.. Try growing chives near it greenfly often don't like them I grow chives in the same pots I grow roses in, something an old gardener told me.

Thank you Adele and thanks Peter. Malcolm thanks for your comment. I will try chives, I have some growing in the garden and they are easy to move, will put them near the Cerinthe, hope it keeps the little blighters away. Thanks for the tip ;)
