  Yeah, you get these rather anonymous-looking green spikes just sitting around for weeks and then suddenly ..... boom

  I used to think orange was such a common colour ... but I am quite a sucker for modish fads!

  Beautifully photographed, @BenCotto. The cosmos goes very nicely with the grass.

  I love it when new hybrids appear in the garden, like this unusual snapdragon.

  An annual grass that I would recommend is Panicum elegans ’Sprinkles’. Easy to grow from seed, survived being ‘Chelsea chopped’ by a rabbit while still young and is also doing well in the current weather. I regret not growing more of it.
