The Cutting Garden Flower Challenge 2014

[WPG]

Another pick 'n mix of flowers from the allotment. Ox-eye daisy, lavender, euphorbia oblongata, salvia viridis, snapdragons, cerinthe and sweet pea.

Sorry it's a bit of a dark photo (in the background are two pots of sweet williams which I bought from homebase today...was inspired by Martin's photo of them so I'm going to save the seeds from these)

I just love this thread, much as i love growing edibles my first love will always be flowers.

Hi haven't pcked every week but have finally got some sweet peas to show

[WPG]

More sweet peas, this time with a few nasturtiums. I lost a lot of sweet peas to slugs this year, and am now losing more to mildew. Have tried spraying with diluted milk, so hopefully they'll come round.

Love that. Very real.

Very van gough ..know they are not sunflowers, but very cheery!

Love the vibrant colours. The lychnis chalcedonica are so wonderfully fire engine red. I even managed to find the double form of it after some serious searching. Red flowers really do liven up a herbaceous border.

And here we have two roses; mme Alfred carriere and ena harkness, dahlia shadow play, purple scabious, lychnis Jerusalem cross, carnations and some sweet peas.

I love the colour scheme. The clematis are a master stroke. Very pretty.

Sweet pea, ox-eye daisy and a purple flower which I think is probably knapweed

And some more Sweet peas - the flower that keeps on coming

Not sure what they are!
I must have planted them last year as popping up everywhere in the garden and they look lovely

Sweet peas - even though I know picking is good for them, I still find it difficult to do.
