My flower is a Cosmos from the C Bed, growing alongside random carrots and calendula. The foliage confused me for a while as I thought it was a bolting carrot.

Fortunately I photographed My flower of the day last night as it is raining here this morning it is one of the annuals that I have sowed around the garden, but no label now there's a surprise

Are you taking any bets about it lasting a full year

Marigolds- this patch self seeds each year from the previous year and the flowers remain surprisingly true. Requires a lot of dead heading but well worth it. All summer long the flowers gaze at the heavens until winter enters the garden and decides to stay awhile. It is just before this I stop deadheading and allow some seeds to ripen and fall.

My Flower is a Tree Spinach (Chenopodium giganteum), another self seeder, with the bonus of having edible leaves and seeds - although I haven't tried those.

My Flower of the day today is gladioli

[cheops]

Yesterday I took a photo of a patch of fiery orange marigolds. Earlier this spring I sowed some seeds of a very lemon yellow marigold and here they are. I think they would contrast beautifully amongst the orange ones so my plan is to collect some of the yellow marigold seeds and scatter them amongst the orange ones. This will also free up the space the yellow ones are growing in. Never know whether to call them calendula or marigolds.

Garlic chives, amazing how pretty some of the small flowers are when you zoom in.

My Flower is another of the hardy geraniums. Not many flowers left now but, at its peak, its a sea of pink.

Can you lot make do with a few I picked for indoors? Not very well arranged but I am chuffed with them!

Today’s flower is a perennial mauve/blue statice (limonium).
If anyone knows which one it is I’d be grateful!
