    It's always good to see a low key colour scheme ;)

    Great red dahlia and petunia colour. My dalhia's are finally coming out and my cosmos getting going.

    Good grief, my Mercury Rising doesn't look anything like yours. Yours is what I was hoping for. Mine is over-washed knickers pink.  :/

    Does your have some shade? Mine is in full sun.

    Tetra Red Versailles cosmos - just opened. It fades to pink. But the first day is very satisfying.

    I think mine might be the same variety since they start off much darker and then turn into this:
