Celebrating (the) Cosmos , as we approach the Autumn Equinox , when our Planet Earth aligns with the Sun such that day and night hours are equal in length ☀. Following this , as the Earth's axis tilts away from the Sun , days become shorter and nights longer , until we reach the Winter Solstice 🌙 .

Bonkers isn't it ! I love that we are still guided by the Seasons , with Autumn being my favourite , as we hopefully begin to calm-down and cosy-up 🤗 .

The Cosmos Flowers will keep blooming until the frosts come , they have been glorious again this year , so giving , so strong and colourful and so beneficial to pollinators , whom I have to ask to forgive me for disturbing them when I cut one of their favourite Flowers ! 🐝

So here's to Mother Nature , Our Planet , and The Cosmos , for allowing us to enjoy all their Glory . Respect ! 🙏

Some of my Beautiful Girls cut today for tomorrow's Bouquets 🌻.

Dahlia 'April Heather' has come back so well from last year (I left Her in the ground) ; She is tall and Her Flowers are as big as my hand (pic 5) . I am absolutely loving the golden Flowers of Rudbeckia 'Prairie Sun' , on strong , tall stems (still awaiting 'Sahara') . The 'Desert Sun' Sunflowers are perfect for Autumn tones (I cut out the main flowering stem , as the side-stems are more slender and manageable , as are the stems of 'Vanilla Ice'). Others here are Dahlias 'Apricot Desire' , 'Bonesta' and 'Burlesca' . Plus just the one surviving Zinnia from the weekends weather ! There are others but their necks still wobble , so I need to leave them a few more days 🌻.

Happy Monday ! 🌻

Happy September ! Happy Autumn !

I have been sowing lots more of these stunning Snaps today , out of the rain and the wind , interrupted by bright sunshine , could only be Blighty eh !

I always love Antirrhinums , I have especially enjoyed growing 'Sweet Cantaloupe' this year (pic 7) , plus the Potomacs and some Double Madame Butterfly. I have found the Chantilly series too short for me , though they may well grow taller in a tunnel. I like to grow the Opus series , as I find the flowers are a nice compromise between the Costas and Potomacs (strong , but not too heavy).

I like to get some Snaps growing in Autumn from seed , and then when I pinch-out the tips , I use those as cuttings , they take really easily !

My Antirrhinums are still flowering , mostly on repeat from their first cut , but some have succumbed to rust now , and with all this rain , they might become more vulnerable , as they end their season. Their rust can spread really quickly , so I have already cleared where I spotted it , and will be careful not to plant Snaps there next year , just in case.

I am very much looking forward to the future and 2026 Season ! I shall be growing more of favourite Plants , and more successions to keep a fresh supply going for longer. It is all very exciting !

To Plant a Garden is to believe in Tomorrow (Audrey Hepburn's fabulous quote) .

Some absolute jewels making their way into weekly Bouquets today 💕 . Just look at these colours ! 💕

Other than the Zinnias and Dahlias , I am loving growing Celosia spicata 'Xantippe' , with her feathery , papery plumes , and Coreopsis 'Incredible Swirl' , with fabulously contrasting flowers , velvety buttons and bobbles that dance 💕 . I am waiting patiently for the incredible Arctotis fastuosa 'White' to pass the wobble test , so that I can include her amazing blooms ! 💕

I am in awe of the Beauty , and love that I never stop learning from these glorious Plants , I thank Them very much for that ! 💕

Enjoy your weekend 💕 .
