          Not quite as exciting as Longks plants but each to their own. :) My roses are now on their third round of flowers.

          Cosmos, still going strong!

                  Wonderful photos everyone! I've really enjoyed looking at so much colour and vibrancy. I'm so jealous of the trcyrtis! My attempts at growing them have failed miserably - too dry I fear.

                      And thank god for that! Otherwise all we would need would be a large communal garden and we would have lost a hobby! Variety IS the spice of life:)

                        They are all lovely Sheal but being a Lincolnshire lass this one gets my vote.

                        All great Shiney but the seed pod is really quirky.

                              Thank you :cat-kittyandsmiley: :thud:

                              Calendula were a late sowing (26 June) and I am well happy with them.
