Something from a recent visit to the gardens at Chastleton House for today’s cheerful flower.

These giant scabious were a standout feature of some new borders in the garden – there will be more on my visit later this week.

These are truly giants. I once saw some in the border at Trelissick gardens and they were smothered in bees.
Yes, they’re a great plant for pollinators.
