The Chatty Gardener

I always think of this as ‘the Cornish daisy’. It is, of course, Erigeron karvinskianus, but it grows almost wild . . .

The first Cheering up Mondays flower of September and there’s a real hint of autumn in the air. Japanese anemones . . .

There’s something wonderfully moody about this week’s Monday flower. This is Dahlia ‘Rip City’ and I really like the rich . . .

How’s this for some cheerful colour? I first started growing zinnias a couple of years ago when I was sent . . .

A pure blast of colour to kickstart the week. I saw this in Italy and am not sure what it . . .

This is a new addition to my growing dahlia collection. It’s called ‘Summer Flame’ and I really like the colour . . .
