    Its amazing anything has flowered this year with all the rain we've had. Everything has grown all leggy due to lack of sunlight.

    What a magnificent collection of colourful beauties! A good job that I don't have to chose my favourite from them or I'd be stuck.

    What a lovely Geranium, Sis ... mine are quite pathetic looking, and your Hollyhock is so delicate too.

    I have my first rose-coloured Canna opening ...

    and the first of the Valottas ....

    It has been very gusty here for several days and it's playing havoc with petals ....:( On the upside, the evenings are lovely for sitting outside. :thumb:

    :) Hiya Bobj.

    I love the spikey Dalias, always were a favourite with me. :thumb:

    As far as Cannas go, the lovely rose-coloured one is the only one of the five I have that have seeded ... should I get some this year, would you like some? If so, please PM your details as I don't 'know you'. :)

    I had watered earlier .... please send me some rain, please, please, please .....
