Great picture and great name!

#spectacular-flowers

Now that's art!😊

Wow!! Kez, that's beautiful. I did some a couple of years ago I don't know what's happened to them. Some things I just don't have any luck with but that's the way it goes 🙂♥️♥️

So pretty 😍. I had one similar years ago but now they only come up the basic red. I keep hoping one year a lost seed will reappear as the red and white.

This is amazing. Love it ❤️🤍❤️

Wow! 🤩

Oooooo lovely against that blue sky! 😍

@bobbyball thank you Bob 😀

@emch thank you Eileen 😃

@zephyrwindsong thank you 😄 the blue skies are so rare that they need to be used to full advantage when we get them 😂

@gauravsh6 thank you ☺️

Oh this is beautiful! 😍😍

@richard.spicer.7906 thanks 😁 second year growing them and they’re just as good. Just a shame the petals drop so fast. But going to leave them to dry and do a monty, sprinkle them like a pepper pot in the field behind my garden 😅

Oh yeah I saw him doing that last week 😄 - definitely should, and even if they don’t come up first year, they can resurface years later 👍🏼
