Cosmos Bipinnatus 'Velouette'

Good morning GTers! With temperatures dropping I'm remembering warmer days of last summer and having a #flashbackfriday moment with these pretty #cosmos 'Veloulette' blooms! Have a fabulous Friday everyone! 😀

Morning Ian 💖💖

Morning 👋 Love that photo 💖💖💖

@pelly - Good morning Jane! 😀

@anges - Morning Ange! Thank you so much! 😀

It reminds me of raspberry ripple 💖😁

@anges - Hehe! Just to warn you that I grew these from seed and some turned out like this and others were a deep maroon colour! 😀

Ok thanks ☺ I love Cosmos!! I will give them a go if I can get the seeds - love the stripes, but would be ok with maroon too 😀 Thanks.

@anges - I love them too! I've already got about five packets of seed for this year! 😀

Good morning Ian very cold here. I will be glad when cosmos are in bloom again.🤗

@godfreye - Morning Enid! Yes, me too! Just not looking forward to all of the work that goes into growing them to this stage! 😀

Blimey, you're worse than me! 😁🌸🌸🌸

Afternoon all! Did somebody order something #pink? I'm not sure about these #cosmos 'Veloulette' plants grown from seed! They're not as dark as I was expecting! 😀

Ooh I like it! 💕

@rachelbrooks - I suppose they may grow on me Rachel, but I was expecting them to be a much darker red, almost maroon in colour! 😀

Oh! Annoying when it’s not what you’re expecting 🙄 lovely nonetheless 😊

Sometimes what we get is better than we could expect. 🤗

@Annettenoosa - Sometimes Annette, but not in this case in my opinion! 😀

Oooo, one I haven’t heard of-like it! 💖

Lovely I like the colour 👍

@riakat - Thanks Elisa! I think it's a new variety! Wish they were as dark as their picture on the seed packet! 😀

@plants - Thanks very much Judy! 😀

Lovely Colours

@gauravsh6 - They are, aren't they Gaurav! 😀

Good afternoon all! I feel a couple of hours in the shed coming on, sheltering from the rain, potting on things like these #cosmos 'Veloulette' seedlings! I've got so little space though I've no idea where I'm going to put them all! 😀 #seedling

@columbiariver - Haha! I've got too many tropical fish tanks in the living room to have plants in there as well! 😀

You could always send me some if you’re really stuck! 😉 I’ve done none! 🙄

@rachelbrooks - I ended up just picking the strongest seedlings and culled the rest! I felt a bit bad about doing it but I've got literally hundreds if not thousands of seedlings to prick out! 😀

Cataloguing - Cosmos 'Veloulette' seeds have germinated, and are shooting away! 😀 #seedling #springtime

Love the colour

@kathy - Me too Kathy! 😀
