Thanks pansy face I'm about to check up if I can sow rudbeckia now , and whatever else I can sow to greatly start .
Oopps greatly should have read early !
Dahlias, Cannas, Rudbeckia, Calendula, Phloxes, Salvia, Eryngiums , Echinops and Buddleja are amongst those looking good, although not being able to dead head at the moment, I suspect some of these will start to decline.

Granma have a look at my pictures from my Bristol Garden in the thread "My Bristol garden in 2015" and you will see what is flowering now in my garden on the present page.
Sorry p87 as the pages have moved on since I put this week's flowers in.
Mine is usually best this time of year, rabbits have eaten a lot but they are recovering, the potentilla are good, rudbeckia, echinops, helenium, penstemon, foxgloves having another go, Flanders poppies, deadheaded they never stop, dahlias, cosmos, fuchsias, at their best when it's a bit colder, verbena Bon just beginning to put on a show. Perennial sweet peas, hydrangeas, buddliea, crocosmia, montbretia, asters, geums, there's more but that's all I can see from the window. Oh, roses and geraniums still going. Tall anemones just starting.
