That was quick,Paul..ta..I forgot you were an early riser,like me..Lol.I love close ups ..oh,I forgot some of you stll have to go to work !sorry..:o)

:)))))))))) :DD

You been nicking my plants again! lol Lovely

I didn't think you would miss just one,Pixi..Lol.

And here's me thinking it was the fairies!

It's been suggested I am "away with the Fairies",Pixi,..so you never know..:o))

lol aye me too! ;)

That's a beautiful photo, Sandra ... my Cosmos have been pathetic this year ... short and not many buds ... do you remember last year they were like Triffids ... all foliage and no blooms! ... Shan't grow them again ... will jus admire your pic ... lol! . . . . .

To be honest,Shirley..mine haven't been so good either..I just took a close up of a decent one! I have had lots of buds,but small,nothing near as good as last year..the foliage isn't brilliant either..soon going brown looking..there..does that make you feel better ? I won't grow them again next year,time for a change..but I have always had them,and loved them till this year....

Strange how things have been performing this year, Sandra ... some 'old favourites' not looking good at all ... :o(((

I pulled some up this morning..in between the showers..just fed up of deadheading button size flowers..it was hardly worth keeping them..and I needed the space...I bought a new plant yesterday..:o)..good enough reason,I guess..will do a teeny weeny blog..not an epic like the last few !...I bet you are saying..thank goodness for that ..Lol :o))

Lol, Sandra, not at all ... I love your epic blogs ... now I'm wondering what you have purchased! ... The most I'll be buying later is a sprayer for the Garlic mix to ward off the bugs ... about £1 ... lol!

Just take a look,Shirley..all is revealed..well,in a gardening way! :o))))

I've seen your purchases now, Sandra, very mixed ones! . . . . .

Lol,Shirley..:o))
