    A few flowers - now that's what I call an understatement Jewell!! :eek: Your blooms are gorgeous and I have a favourite - your Alcea rosea 'Chater's Double Icicle' :drool: I've enjoyed looking at all your photographs of flowers, fruit and veggies so much that I'm off to look at them all over again. :D

    Well Jewell,
    This is a post that I liked very much because there are some of the same things that I am growing featured. :)
    Your veg is looking very good, I must say.
    The flowers are delightful to see. They are really making quite a show, aren't they?
    I just keep scrolling up and down looking at the pics again and again...
    I even like that spider. I have one too, and I hope that nothing kills it, I like having them in the garden, but threr aren't very many that have webs like the one that you are showing.

    GOLLY DAY as we used to say! What an amazing show. The white dahlia is breathtaking to me. And I love the cosmos with the poppy heads shot. Oh and as I look back at them again, the cosmos!!! Lovely.
