Nice and cheery,Moti..especially the Rudbeckia..I bought one a couple of weeks ago,and I keep finding the odd flower head on the ground..as though it has been cut off..do you think it is snails or slugs ? They don't look as though they were dying off at all..

I dont know what is causing your problem Bloomer...I would have said these plants are virtually pest free...are you sure there aren't any tiny fingers at work?.lol

Lol,Moti..he hasn't discovered the long border at the front of the house..yet ! I thought it was strange,as the flower heads aren't eaten round the edges at all..still perfectly shaped ,but just laid on the ground..found two so far..anyway,I decide to save one,and it is drying out in the shed..maybe I can save the seeds .:o)

Would it be possible for passersby to pull off the flowerheads?....Or children playing...just a thought....:>)

Not really,Moti..as it isn't a through road..and most of my neighbours would have a job to bend down to it.!!..A lot of them have a gardener to look after theirs now...and me !!
It was only a new one,planted a couple of weeks ago..maybe it 's just a replanting shock...
