      • Flower of my day is dahlia again but it’s a different colour & looks pretty,they’ve never been stripy before (I think they’ve only been in two maybe three years). -

                  • My flower is this striking Aquilegia. It must have a name but I've no idea what (maybe Magpie?). Definitely going to save seeds if I can.

                        • My flower is a shrub - one of the Hypericum family. Its very popular with bees and other insects.
                          This is one of the last flowers as all the rest have turned to seedpods.
                          Thought I'd better post it now - otherwise I'd have to wait for next year!!

                            • I'd be there all week, deadheading it. I can't even reach the top of the bush!
                              I like the seedheads/berries too.
