The next two are not commonly thought of as garden flowers but I like them, so normally have one or two of each. A bonus is the goldfinches love teasel seeds.
The teasels growing behind the shed are 8 feet high.
Love that creamy Dahlia, flowers. I'm not really a fan of them, as I really don't have the time to 'do' them, but they're definitely getting more popular again, which is a good thing I reckon.
They're losing the 'old man' image image they had back in the sixties and seventies
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I've gone off them again as they are such a slug fest and there's all that palaver with lifting and drying the roots and then starting them again in spring. gave them all away to good home except some carefully saved dark leaved white flowered After Eights.
Potted them up to take with me and blow me if one of them doesn't turn out to be a Bishop's Child with bright red flowers. To keep or give away???
