    Some really lovely posies and arrangements. My sweet peas are a long way from flowering, but my white paeony [Duchess de Nemours] is looking good. I cut a couple of stems to save it from the storm the other day


    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Jam jars - so passe.  A big bushy antirrhinum blew over in the wind and snapped, so I cut off the flowers and put them in water, that's why they're bendy.  Keeping company with a double poppy, honeysuckle, jasmine and rhubarb.  Can anyone ID this critter?  She lives on the hearth and we call her Ethel.  Head like a frog, legs like a dog, backside like a hippopotamus.  And she rocks!

    Gorgeous paeony fairygirl! I love all of these but I cant bring myself to cut my flowers off.

    @josusa47 She might be an interpretation of Heket, Egyptian frog-headed goddess of rebirth and childbirth.

    These were picked from my new bed this morning. Pleased with the flowers... less pleased with the arrangement! May need to look into flower arranging courses as well as rhs gardening courses in the autumn...

    PS I was going to use a jam jar, but it got a bit big...
