Flowers from the allotment

I'm not going to many clients gardens at the moment. - School Summer holidays and an olympics obsession are keeping me closer to home this month, but it doesn't mean i'm not gardening at all, and at last my 3 times weekly allotment visits are starting to bear fruit, - or in this case flowers.

This bunch is a mixture of flowers from my favourite suppliers, and I managed to pick a similar bunch for a friend yesterday.

Black cornflowers from seeds from Higgledy garden

Wonderful Calendula from seeds from Sarah Raven

Rudbeckia Cherry Brandy from plugs from Thompson and morgan

plus wonderful Zinnias from seed, which I think were in the RHS pack from last year, but I notice are on special offer on the Sarah Raven website at the moment.

Now i'm just hoping that the slugs won't eat my second batch of Dahlias that i've planted, and i'll have wonderful auutmn flowers from them.

lovely colourful arrangement Claire and thanks so much for giving the seed suppliers a mention. So few people tend to do so and it is oh so important [to me anyway]

Thanks Ena, - it's great to be able to give them to friends as well, - think i'll be able to do a blue based bunch today, - lots more cornflowers ready now from my @higgledygarden seed.
