I had a nice range of colours this year, all from collected seed.

Thanks David - they're always covered in bees and hoverflies!
Arlene I'd love to swap, the colours will be pot luck, they cross-pollinate alot. All of these came from fairly pale pink flowers! My favourite this year is a semi-double coral pink, I'll post a photo so you can see :)
