These look amazing this year

I felt so pleased to be picking the flowers from these for the first time today - there's something very satisfying about plants which are handed on as seeds or cuttings from another person's garden, especially if it's someone you have very fond memories of in connection with plants and gardening.

These look fantastic this year - always a good start to the season for cut flowers
