    I am amazed you mange to see the bees VS, it was covered in a swarm of bees the butterflys / bumble bees were going equally mad for eupatorium image.  Its hard to believe I bought the helianthus last year as a plug plant now its huge.

    Unfortunately the blue skies weren't today FG image  

  • From a plug last year? Wow...is it Lemon Queen?

    I have angustifolius but can't really see it where it is as it's surrounded by big plants

    Wearside, England.

    Yes lemon queen, it got to about 5ft last year but this year about 7ft it probably 5ft wide aswell.

    That begonia has really done well Dove.  I hope you keep the tuber for next year.
