Beeeautiful 👌🏻

@jmlincoln never have much luck getting a hoverfly to stay still for a photo - and he chose the scruffiest flower to land on 🤣

#jerk lol I still think it looks wonderful but I know what you mean

@jmlincoln 😂 he was being a jerk 🤣 tried to encourage him over to a pretty flower but no, not a chance 🙄

Think I need your skills for growing from seed .. these look great

@Mary200631 thank you Mary ☺️ they’re one of the few successes I’ve had this year. Had a nightmare with the last lot of seeds I sowed 😜 these I just sprinkle and leave to do their thing 😅

Lol I like that idea👌🏻I’ve managed a few seedlings, going to try pansies for winter .. never done them before but hoping they will be pretty easy

This collage just screams summertime! Very lovely

@Mary200631 pansies for winter 😍 they should grow well from seed and once they’re in they’ll repeatedly self seed so will never be without them 😛 I do the sprinkle method with them too 😂 direct sowing has given better results in the main 💚

@jmlincoln 🎵🎶all things bright and beautiful... 😂 I’m so pleased with the range of colours this year. Mostly just get pink 🙄

@cyndi thank you Cyndi 😊 they’re the cutest little blooms. Just that horrid spongey foliage that is off-putting 😂

I’ll let you know how it goes... might do both types of sowing and see what happens 🤞🏼

@Mary200631 please do! Be interesting to see which do better 😁

They remind me of my dad’s garden he always grew these around a small lawn...🌸🌸🌸👌🏼

The yellow with the pink centre is striking. I've not seen that one before 💛💖💛

Wow show stopper

Oh wow that is stunning 😊

Wow

Love these little blooms 😍😍

Great color!!

Simply gorgeous ...are they 100’s and 1000’s in the middle...😘

I love these, but my seedlings this year are growing so slowly!

@solly1961 thanks Mark 😊

@pelly reminds me of jelly tots 😂
