Sweet peas every time. No fillers with them, just a big bunch in a vase.
I'm going to try single flowered dahlias next year from seed for cutting. I grew a few this year, but because it has been so dry and I didn't water anything, they are only just beginning to grow properly and get buds. Ditto with rudbeckia, this year's flowers from seed are only a foot tall. They are supposed to be "cherry brandy" but some are distinctly yellow and the rest are a chocolate/orange blend. The yellow ones will go in the compost, hate that colour.
