Sooo gorgeous ❤💛❤

Really pretty. Great colours ♥️♥️💛💛

So bright and happy

@pelly thanks Jane 😀 clinging to summer for dear life! 😆

@midnightgardener thank you Chris 😃 took a while to get going but it’s bringing much needed colour at the moment

@vivo44 thanks Lisa 😄 it’s one of the few things looking cheerful out there now 😐

It's been cold lately, but just looking at these makes you feel warmer ❤💛

@jeatacake they really are sunshine in plant form ☀️

@emch ❤️💛❤️

@kez001uk it sounds as if you might need some mums or asters -- maybe monkshood or toadlilies -- to keep the blooms coming into fall. Jerusalem artichokes are just coming into bloom for me now, too!

@gjones I saw some of your posts today and seems you grow biiiig plants! A huge one of these must look incredible 😍 this hasn’t done great until now but think it needs a pot upgrade. Maybe much bigger 😂

Very 🔥 The most sunny thing I've seen today 💛❤

@gjones perhaps 8” at most 🤣 I’ve not potted it on since it was a plug plant 🙈 that’s a job I’m currently working through, potting on everything that needs it - it’s a mammoth job, hence why I’m not on here much 🤪

@jeatacake they came good in the end, just like you said they would 😛

@gjones it does feel like it’ll never end 😆

#gaillardia #blanket-flower #gaillardia-arizona-sun

Very nice & loads more to come ❤💛

@gjones they scream summer don’t they ☀️

@jeatacake thanks Jeff 😀 plenty of buds to open but the flowers look nothing like they did last year 🤔

Really? Early days though yet. Summer hasn't even started (technically).

@jeatacake they were very open and not at all ruffled like these ones. Maybe the buds got damaged, not sure 😕

Could have been that cold weather we had one night nearly 3 weeks ago? 🤔 Hard to imagine cold weather now though!

@jeatacake seems like months ago doesn’t it! I think maybe it was. The buds were just forming them so I bet they got a little shrivelled 🥶 thankfully it’s still pretty, in a shabby chic kinda way 😅

And it's going be a knock out in a week or so 😉

@jeatacake if this heat continues it will be!

I didn't mean it quite like that! 😂🥊

@jeatacake 😂 I know you didn’t 😛

Great pic 👍

That's an incredible shot Kerry!💘😍

@gjones thank you Katy 😀 don’t let much go to seed but these are almost as nice aa the flowers 🤩

@debs69 thanks Debra 😃

@ShelleySnyder thank you Shelley 😄

My pleasure!💘😍

@jeatacake thank you Jeff 😁

These are pretty 😊

@gjones they’re fantastic plants aren’t they! Just keep going for weeks on end 🤩

@bluefox23 thank you Alison 😁 last for ages too!

Might have to wish list these 😬

@bluefox23 if I can stop myself deadheading I’ll save you some seed 🤣

Thanks!! 😂😂

#starperformer

Still going strong 💛❤️

Very pretty!💘😍

Looking good ❤💛 Mine haven't started to flower yet.

@ShelleySnyder love everything about these. Even the seed heads are good looking 😂

That's the kind of plant to have!💘😍

@jeatacake really? Think this has been in flower since the beginning of June 😜

@gjones thanks Katy ☺️ it’s surprised me how long it goes on for 😜

Wow! I must have upset mine! 🤔

@jeatacake nah yours is preparing to put on a show 😛

I hope you're right & it's not going to be a "no show"!

@jeatacake no chance it will be a no-show 😛

Wow!💘😍

@ShelleySnyder definitely catches the eye 😛

@gjones so bright! But love the adorable fluffy centre 😛

Sure does!💘😍
