    I was thinking Shasta Daisy as well @BeeHappy . I grow the larger ones as they're ideal for cutting .

      Yes, I think it must be :). Thanks for the link!. I always try to choose Bee/ Butterfly friendly plants. I saw a Butterfly drinking from it in the garden centre so decided to buy it.

                    One of my rose bushes seems to be regenerating. The other one is still looking rather sorry for itself.

                    My Dahlia has finally bloomed.

                    image.jpeg

                    We'll sort of. When I bought these last year they were covered in flowers.

                      Roses ..ive learnt so much from our resident experts here on the forum invaluable advice friendly and all for free :blue thumb:

                          Mrs Shiney won two more firsts for her flower arranging (everything had to be from our garden) and I was going to post them here but I found a thread that was for flower arranging :ideaIPB: so I've posted them there. Mrs Shiney has explained what she did and, if people want, shall explain other ideas etc. :thumbsup:

                          The thread is here:
