Just a bit of yellow from me - can't do much on my garden thread - weather has ruined so much. I am pleased just to get some close-ups.

and the Pièce de résistance is my Dwarf Sunflower Sunspot (40cms)grown for the trials that is now 157cms - 2cms taller than I am.....

Rather a lovely flower head though................

Sorry that a couple of pics are blurred.

Some lovely sunny yellows

GH Bishop of York soooooo pretty, lovely detail

RF Love the Sunflower photo with the bee's

Now thats obviously not in the tallest sunflower compo unless you were on a step ladder ;D

Picked these a few days ago so I could enjoy them, African Queen Lillies, very strong purfume. Had them a few years now, they used to be more of a pinky orangey colour but seem to go more yellow each year, not sure if this is normal.

Hiya Chuckles

Nice lilies. I bought some new varieties this year, one called Vulcano and the other Blackout. They both like alkaline soil and ours is on the acid side so I have them planted in pots and added some lime to the compost mix. Could it be something to do with the Ph in your soil? Mine haven't flowered yet but they shouldn't be too long. I'll post some pics when they do.

See - they do fly!!

And these I think are peruvian lillies?

Chuckles - Glad you like Bishop of York, I think it's lovely - it's become a new favourite (but I can be abit fickle when it comes to which plant/flower is favourite ;D)

JLottie - I've watered mine for the first time in ages so hopefully they will perk up a bit. My yellow crocosmia are still in bud too - it just goes to show that there is a difference in plants flowering times if they are in the south or the north - or the middle in my case
