Chocolate after chocolate... π«π«π«π«π

Wow nice color cosmosπππ

Love the colour. π

@7walnutclose .......just bought this plant. Hoping mine will look as good as yours next year Robert. What do you do with them over winter.....I see they are semi hardy?

Thank you for your kind comments π @columbiariver @ankur1406 @pelly π

Hi Pauline, I have no green house so mine will go to the garage. I have bit more reading to do, as it will be it's first winter. Good luck with yours and enjoy π @flof1952

@gjones thank you, they are really lovely, even darker in the colour than the picture shows. Unfortunately / apparently they are sterile so you will probably have to get the ready plant... worth the money πππ

Did you find it @gjones ?

Very pleased with how this #chocolatecosmos is performing. Nice souvenir from the #gwlive βΊ

@7walnutclose .....that is a gorgeous shot Robert. Now on my 'wish list'......what a lucky bee :)

Thank you Pauline @flof1952, I have potted it up singularly. Absolutely I do recommend having one, or two... π

Well done!

Came back with this little #ChocolateCosmos from last weekend's #Gardener'sWorldLive show. Smells tasty! π

#fragrant
#chocolatecosmos and #dahlia-mystic-spirit. Standing strong, but I suppose it is last days/weeks for them this year π
Love them together! πππ
Lovely
They're looking great! Lovely combination ππΌHope they hang on for a while longer π
Love the colour combination of these two side by side
Ooh I love this dahlia! Didn't know its name but it's been on my #wishlist for a while π
#latebloomer #autumncolour
Thank you for your kind comments π @beckers1974 @clustyroen @brightcolours Thanks Tracey, somehow they complement each other π€ @TraceyH
Thanks Rachel, π they are still alive, cosmos still has plenty of flowers, but dahlia just runout of buds. Bit worried foliage of these is still fresh and green π€ @rachelbrooks
Thanks Jules @Alvare. Really happy I could help. Quite recommend for the dark foliage and flowers changing colour (from peach-like to pale yellow) π
It's been fairly mild so a lot of things seem to be still looking quite fresh! Do you normally take yours out overwinter Robert?
It will be a second winter for dahlia, last one overwintered in my garage and in early spring planted some pansies around it to protect from (unexpected) frost. It will be first winter for cosmos, and will try to do same... Fingers crossed π@rachelbrooks
