Beautiful flowers and wildlife

Oh! Pudgy's snack food! 🐈

@auricula thanks Elise 😀

@kaporyash thanks Yash 😃

@ublaszko send her over! I’m terrified of the things 🙈

🧡🧡🧡

@gjones thanks Katy 😁

@lovemygarden65 thanks Marilyn 😄

Beautiful!

@bandicoot thanks James 😊 happy to see it back again this year 😁

Very pretty

Thanks Cori 😁 love anything daisy-like 🧡

I've found these so hard to grow. You definitely have the magic touch with them 👍🧡

It's beautiful 👌

@jeatacake I’m hoping I can get you some seeds this year so you can give it another go 😛 they seem to enjoy their sunny spot next to the guinea pigs 😂

@bks thank you BK 😁

@gjones they’re simple flowers but sure do make you smile 😁

That would be so kind 😘 but maybe I'll have to get a guinea pig too? 😁

@jeatacake I’ll send you some of them too 🤣🤣🤣

Now that would be really interesting! 😂😂😂 @kez001uk

Did you grow this from seed? Such a cool photo!

@janetandjim I didn’t, bought it last year and am so happy to see it again ☺️ it flowered it’s socks off for months 💛

It’s cool looking at this stage! I can’t wait to see the blooms

@janetandjim I’m intrigued myself because it’s supposed to be golden but looks nothing like it at the moment 😂

It's looking fantastic Kerry & a great achievement to get it through the winter 👌

Loving it all really...

I remember it was beautiful last year 👍👍

@auricula me either until this year 😜 these ones seem pretty resilient as long as they’re mulched well. Might be worth a go, they really are gorgeous plants 😍 I’ll have my fingers crossed for your dahlias to return 🤞🏻

@jeatacake thank you muchly Jeff 😁 I was so pleased to see the new growth 😂 strange the things that get you excited in life 🤣

@gjones thank you 😛 I’m shocked they made it but both are back. The red one is a little behind though. Can’t wait for the flowers again 😀

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thanks Elaine ☺️

@ublaszko thanks Urszula 😁 it just went in and on! Was still flowering when I cut it back to mulch it. Just hope it’s as impressive this time around 🤞🏻

Love the colour 🧡🧡

These are very popular cut flowers in Poland. 😍😍😍

@gjones thank you Katy ☺️ it’s full of flowers still 😁

@pelly thanks Jane 😊 it’s one of the few pops of colour I have left

@auricula thank you Elise 😄

@ublaszko Poland has very good taste 😉😉

I agree 😉😂😂 Shame they're not hardy 😞

@ublaszko both mine are hardy. That’s not to say I can keep them alive though 😂

Now that's great news! I always thought they're annual so didn't bother buying any but that changes everything! 😉

@ublaszko oh no, they’ve just become more attractive to you 😂 are great plants though. The 2 I have don’t stop flowering!

See what you did! Now I have to go and buy them for my garden 😂😂😂

@ublaszko it’s the right thing to do 😉😉

@gjones I know they like to be planted with the crown above soil level but other than that I don’t know what might be stopping yours flowering 😕 I hope it does soon 🤞🏼

@gjones I am 😁 learning how to try make the most out of my plants 👍🏼

Don’t look at the grass 🙈

🧡🧡🧡🧡

@jeatacake even on an overcast day like yesterday these still glow ☀️

They're fabulous 👍but a plant I've not had much success with in the past.

@jeatacake more supermarket distraction purchases 😂 I’m much the same, they never make it over winter for me even though they’re supposedly perennial 😔 we are in the same boat at least 😉

Yep. Even keeping them indoors over winter didn't do much to help. They just ended up looking yucky & sickly ☹

@jeatacake at least yours came back, that’s one up on mine! Starting to learn that you can’t grow everything no matter how good of a gardener you are. If it doesn’t like its conditions for whatever reason then it’s not gonna stick around ☹️

You're spot on there 👍 I know I am over ambitious with many things I try, but occasionally some things work & surprise me by making it through winter!

@jeatacake from what I’ve seen on here you can’t have much that doesn’t work. And what does is beautiful! ☺️

Oh there are plenty of disasters! 😄 Mostly tropical things from seed brought back from holiday, although I am learning from my mistakes! Thank you though. Very kind of you to say that 😘

@jeatacake I guess it’s just harder to recreate conditions to grow on things from different climates, although it’s getting easier lately! I hear you there, made a good few but the end result when it comes is so much better for them 😛 you’re welcome 😘

@gjones 😂😂😂 it’s horrendous. Combination of the sun and destructive builders 😡

@gjones have a thing for the daisy type flowers 🧡 they’re like baby sunshine ☀️

Absolutely Stunning

@gauravsh6 that’s what I thought when I saw it. Had to have one for my garden 🧡
