Sunflowers are the stars at present and most are multi headed, I can't wait for them to go over. They were planted for the wild life and are dwarf to about 4 or 5ft, or so the packet said, 'NOT', more like 6 or 7ft. Bee's and caterpilllars have loved them, I've cut a few for indoors and the saved seeds will be for the birds over Winter with a few seeds to regrow again in the Spring or at least that's the plan.
Mrs G.. they love playing withe the hosepipe.. mine does for sure always willing to do that bit
the star in my garden at mo is mr gorgeous white and pink neapolitian cyclems. i ahve a old grandma one which is about 2 years old and i av lots of small ones flowering for the first time this year as i grew them from seeds and are 2years old now..
The star in my garden right now are my Chrysanthemums
Especially as they spend most of lives in shade (novice gardener, planting error!) They have 2 sister plants which are getting there but not flowered yet

Apple blossom in fall while the others are ripening. Must be a late starter....
A few weeks ago it would have been the Magnolia flowering for the second time.
Close runner up is the walnut tree. Still plenty of nuts despite the grey vermin.
This is also a star at the moment purely because there are SO MANY bees on it
Great pics everyone, love the Buddha.
My under gardener is my star today...
cosmos is the star at the moment.
