Cosmos Beauty
Love the sun on them in the morning
This is my newest Hollyhock.
It's actually frilly inside.  I'll have to take another photo to show you.
I love the dark dark red
This is Jude the Obscure - a magnificent thing of beauty.  We had a tiny bit of rain which was most welcome by all my plants.
This is Voodoo
I've been working on this with Confidore, as something has been eating it.
It's looking a lot better.
Nothing like some tender loving care.
. . . and YES, these are Zinnias.  I think they're great  I've really been enjoying them - such interesting and colourful flowers.  I raised these from tiny seeds.  A great sense of satisfaction.
 
Now for the first day of school - 3 children at 3 different schools this year.
We've started with a "bang"
Yr 12, Yr 9, Yr 6
And some summertime petunias, you just can't beat 'em!
Aren't these lovely with the little white petticoats.

  9. Lovely photos all round. I hope the children all do well at school this year - you too, Annie.

    I used to hate zinnias as they looked so stiff, but a whole bed of them can be beautiful as they have such bright colours.

    Isn't 'Jude the Obscure' just beautiful, wonderful shape too.
