Starting to fade

Glad to see they survived the strong winds

@jeatacake thanks Jeff 😊 most things did I think. Maybe lost 1 stalk of borage 😆

@gjones don’t have much red so nice when it crops up 😁

Not a bad result at all 👍

@gjones it’s an unusual one but I like the mottled look 😍

#pollinators 😊🐝

@kylers thanks Kylee 😊 seem to be the only wildlife I see 🐝

Great photo 👍He should pick on someone more his own size rhough! 😃 Like me, all I was seeing were hundreds of bumble bees & very few butterflies until recently.

Beautiful photo and coordinating colours 🤣🐝💛🐝

@gjones thanks Katy 😁 oh god, erm, think I’ll pass on that 🤣 are they still eating their way through your garden?

@jeatacake he just about fits bless him 😂 send some down my way 😉 only seen a couple and I’m not delicate enough to creep up on them to take a decent photo 🤣

@lovemygarden65 thanks Marilyn ☺️ doing his best to camouflage himself 😛

I'm sure you are! There's at least one nest here that I know of. They don't like me going near though!

@gjones 🤣🤣🤣 I’m sure the BB gun has limited their destruction 😂 hopefully they’ll reduce over time 🤞🏻

@jeatacake I can imagine they make sure you keep away from their nest! 😆

Oh yes, a few start buzzing around me. Maybe checking me out, but maybe warning me to stay away? I'm not going to risk finding out which! 😄🐝😮

Such beautiful colours 🧡❤️🧡💛

@suerichards thank you Sue ☺️ first time growing zinnias but won’t be the last 😋

@gardengirlla thanks Maggie 😁 they’re great aren’t they 😛

They're doing you proud. You've certainly got the magic touch with these, along with many others 👌😍

@jeatacake you’re so kind ☺️ thank you Jeff 😁 they’re definitely brightening up my garden 🌈

@columbiariver aren’t they the most fantastic summer flowers! First time I’ve had any but adore the variety of colours 🌈 looking forward to seeing yours 😁

@eklinke1983 I’m with you there 😂 Skittles of the plant world 🌈😋

Most welcome. They'd brighten any garden on any day

@columbiariver that’s such a great description! 😛

@gjones thank you Katy ☺️ wish I’d started growing them a couple of years back. They’re amazing little things 🌈

Love the flowers within the flower 😁
