A few stems from the cutting garden arranged in a favourite footed bowl.
I’m so grateful for the downpour yesterday (although at the time I was at the school fete with a glass of Pimm’s huddling under a tree yet still getting drenched which felt hilariously British 😆) But we needed that rain so much and all the plants are much happier today.
This sunflower is a new variety I’m growing this year called Astra Rose, the colouring is beautiful and the heads aren’t too big making it a win. Sitting with corncockle, dahlia, a single cosmos and lots of my favourite perennial grasses pennisetum villosum (Chinese fountain grass)
Also spot the intruder who was hiding in the dahlia and emerged to photobomb the shot 🐞
