Sweet pea - cupani
I adore the colours in this sweet pea and the scent is so sweet, i have them on the kitchen windowsill and as soon as you walk into the kitchen you can smell them, it's wonderful Smile

This is the flower on my blackcurrant sage, the plant itself smells divine, just like freshly picked blackcurrants and to have this gorgeous flower on it is just an added bonus Smile

Just one of the many nasturtiums, i had a variegated packet and some of the colours are just divine! This is one of my favourites, i love the contrast in the deep richness of the red against the pale cream... it tastes pretty good too Wink

I'll take a wander round the garden with the camera again in a bit, there are some gorgeous colours out there and they just brighten my day Smile

Anyone else with any favourite flowers they'd like to share?

Keep these pictures coming please. I don't have a garden and miss it quite a lot. The sun is shining today with something like the ferocity of summer and this is the first time this year so looking at your flowers make me feel good. Thanks

I have some rather bright geraniums, one lot of orange and another of pink, so bright it's impossible not to feel a little uplifted even on the downest of days Smile

I shall definitely be getting more plug plants from Wyevales next year, they were bargainous and the lobelia has exceeded all my expectations Smile

Carolinne, i purposely haven't done any long shots of my garden, the lawn is about two foot tall and two thirds of the veg patch is under weeds Sad

A combination of lots of bad weather, bad back and rushing off to Southend haven't helped my gardening this year one little bit, but the bits that look good, look luvverly Very Happy

I love fuschia's and would fill my garden with them. I bought a new one yesterday which is the only climbing one...a new type. Not sure where to put it yet but it looks lovely.

Ooooh, i've seen those, let us know how it gets on, i've been umming and ahhin over getting one as i wasn't sure how well it would do Smile

I have one fuchsia that i bought up the local greengrocers two years ago for a pound and so far it's flowered again each year, although this year it hasn't done so well so i might try and learn how to take cuttings Rolling Eyes
