Flowers to be proud of

That's a lovely one SC, puts my bog standard yellow singles to shame. You must be eager to see all your new plants.

I am quite proud I have had a better year than the lily beetles

I've noticed a scarcity of lily beetles too, I keep looking but no show, same with slugs. For the first time ever my hostas look whole instead of holey.  Now blackfly, that's a different story.  Nice lillies SC.

Just this minute bought this beautiful hydrangea.
Don’t know the variety - can anyone help, please? It’s got lovely waxy florets unlike the usual soft, leathery ones on all my other hydrangeas.
Absolutely love it!

One of the poppies that came from seeds my Nan saved in 2010.

   

Love this deep red. Got pinks & purples opening up as well.

That's beautiful SC

Our sweetpeas are looking good at the moment.

This lot are growing upwards as usual

   

while there have gone very bushy

   

and a few dahlia as a bonus

   

Love that deep deep pink dahlia!

Do you have to pick all the sweet peas to keep them flowering? My 3 plants are giving me more than enough flowers so my thought of growing more next year might go on hold.

You do need to deadhead them.
