Hi there , thought I´d add to the splendid photos of your flowers. After a hot spell here, we´ve had a thunderstorm with lots of rain - I can almost hear the flowers drinking this morning!
Enjoy your day

"Do you have a name for that long Lily Robert?!

Sorry. no name as it is appeared from nowhere and was not planted by human hand!

 

wow... thats a stunner. Almost gets me thinking into growing dahlias again..

 

Bob - stunning !!!! I want one

 

Wow! I definitely want to grow Dahlias next year. :gnthb:

I took this photo of a flower in my garden this morning, I don't know what its called, just bought it when it was reduced to half price. It was a tuba, and I didn't really think it would look as good as it does. :luv:

 

That's a lovely picture Will - I love your colour combination.

The purple spike is Liatris spicata. As you said, it comes from a tuber. Its perennial and reasonably hardy, but my tubers rotted one winter from the wet, so I lift them now. Its easy from seed too.

 

Thanks for the ident Peter.

 

Yes, well said Woo.
This is a lovely cheery thread and Will your pic just sums up the beauty of a garden. Absolutely gorgeous :gnthb:

 

My photos are not up to standard but I wanted to share the beautiful Hollyhocks in the garden at the moment.
