    I think it looks fab @Gail_68 :blue thumb:
    I think you should try topiary, I'm sure you'd be brilliant at it:)
    Lonicera bagginses gold is a great plant for shaping. I know you like your flowers but for structure you can't go wrong with some nice topiared spheres, pyramids etc:)

              Seed addiction is a terrible thing :rolleyespink: I'm a seed junkie and hoarder :doh:
              When those first little green shoots start poking through the compost....... :awesome:
              even after probably 20 years I'm still excited when they germinate :hapydancsmil:
              Get yourself some biennial seeds and sow them now:blue thumb:
              Wallflowers are easy peasy :spinning:

                          @jane0o0 i always keep seeds, sometimes for a few years, or longer :redface:. Try to keep them in a air tight container and cool.
                          I just fold the opened packet a couple of times and put it back in my box ( boxes :snorky:) :blue thumb:
