  But a rather nice one Sara!  

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

  Hi Orchid Lady, I am certainly going to look out for more variety next year, I thought I had dwarf and giant yellows, I am very happy that it seems maybe 3 will be this chocolate colour. (my giant one has reach 7ft and has only just started producing a flower!)

  I'm getting some dwarf ones for next year too, I have some in pots by my back door but they are a bit big so dwarf ones would look lovely there  There are so many varieties.....I LOVE them 

  Have you seen the sunflower thread?
