Pretty in Pink

[london1952]

Well, it sure has been a gloomy week !...... with grey skies and some torrential rain, although we had about 8 minutes of sunshine (from goodness knows where!) late this afternoon.  I suppose in some ways it's good, as the greenery has sprung back.... and so have some snails and slugs ! (yeuw!) which is not so good.  It does save on time watering the garden however.

In our small side garden, which is mostly a parterre, we planted some annal cosmos plants that Franco (london1967 ) grew from seed.  Normally the ones on offer as summer bedding plants from most nurseries are plain pink (or white) but it has been interesting to see what has bloomed for us... almost every one is different............


     

     

... just a few of the variations, and they are such a simple but lovely flowers......

Wow, that's a lot of variety! :)

It certainly is, and quite unexpected..... the reward for growing your own I guess!

Those are all beautiful!

We had cosmos at the farm.

Flowers are wonderful friends!

I don't know if it is our climate, but I've never seen cosmos here in Brisbane....but then again, there is a lot that won't grow here due to the heat and humidity. Can't have it all ways I guess! Stunning pics.

I guess it's probably because of the heat... they seem to like the partial shade and sheltered position they are in............

And thank you !
