  • Picked out of my garden this morning. Making the most of my dahlias before I need to lift them and roses before they finally decide to stop flowering.

    First attempt at jam jar flowers :)

    Hi fairygirl, in your jat what is the pale trumpet like flower, i believe it is a climber and has big seed pods or ?fruits, i have seen it at an NGS garden here in norfolk and admired it, love your arrangement. I'm going to pick a jar of flowers at the weekend from my garden ?Great post

     Hi Loana - it's that white Cobaea - I've replied to you on the thread that someone started about the white one  image

    Chiltern Seeds is where I got mine

    My nicest cosmos snapped overnight, I did plant it in a bit of a wind funnel though. Added some hesperantha, possibly Fenland Daybreak.

    Lovely to still have fresh garden flowers at the end of October, Victoria.

    Like the colour of the cosmos,

    Those are lovely victoria, i hope no one minds but i didn't have an empty jam jar and i picked these before digging up the tubers. They could probably have gone on a little longer but i had an empty garden waste bin and collection is weds, so thought they should get the chop ?

    They are gorgeous, Loana.  So is Victoria Sponge's cosmos.  Definitely brightening up Autumn for me image
