          Post as many as you like each day! I'm aiming to post one flower a day for 365 days so I won't be posting 2 unless its to catch up.
          I'm worried that I may have run out of flowers by the end of August actually.

          • Wild flowers? Weeds....not sure what we will find in winter!

            • Another dahlia for me....this one has long flower stems but a small (for a dahlia) Pom Pom flower.

              I think it’s called new baby

              • The rain helped produce a flower for my day,these knautia red cherries were all dried out the other day,seeds grown on Jan 11th 2017,I can only remember that because we did VCs alphabet of flowers thread,11th = K (makes me feel like I’ve got a good memory ) I read that birds like the seed heads too so I haven’t deadheaded them....

                  • August Flowers

                    Well done everyone who made it through July. August looks more challenging in my garden!

                    Everyone's welcome to join in, even if you can't manage a flower a day, its great to see what is in flower at the moment to inspire us.

                    My Flower is Achillea Cerise Queen.

                              I think it’s because it’s supposed to keep flies and bugs away.
