  • Those cosmos are lovely B3, wish mine looked like that.

    Is that a coreopsis in your border Mark56, it seems to have been flowering forever unless I'm mixing it up with another garden? 

    I haven't been out in the daylight all week but don't think I'm missing anythingimage

    Thanks VS. They only came out two weeks ago. Fortunately the foliage is nice too so there was something to look at while I was waitingimage

    Very nice B3 image, my own garden looking rather sad at the moment.

    Sure is VS image it's been going since late May and will carry on through to November, one of the best purchases I made for it's colour and long flowering period. Not bad for 9cm pots at £1.50!

    Thanks perki. 

    My garden is a bit of a shambles this time of year but there's still quite a lot of colour.

  • Which one is it Mark?

    I have one a similar colour called Zamphir but it has one show of flowers and then after deadheading has just a sprinkle of flowers the rest of the year. I don't feed or water it though...

    It's Sunray, a nice height and compact habit. I got it from Longacres in the Spring and they've grown like wildfire. Occasional feed here as pot grown

  • An excellent buy Markimage

    My garden has been battered by some freaky winds in the past week or so, it's a weedy mess that I can't be bothered with sorting but nothing seems to be damaged.

    I sowed these nasturtium seeds as an experiment with the bedding plants hoping for a second show. The snails ate the first show but these are okay. Next year I'm doing nasturtiums followed by later nasturtiums. I never noticed they were scented before today.

    Possibly Symphyotrichum Little Carlow, Aster Monch and S. Vasterival. The second names are right anywayimage They've been flowering for a few weeks, Monch maybe a month or more.

    This is a wonderful happy plant. I lost my persicaria plan but I think this is Summerdance. Had it less than a year and it's already huge. Honeybees love it. Please ignore the dead bedding, someone got bored of itimage

    My biggest Invincible pear fell into the border in the past week and today I rescued it and it didn't have a single gnaw mark. The cup's there for scale.
