Thanks for the noms. I can't believe it survived all that cold last winter! It is somewhat protected by a heather growing one side and a papaver on the other - I've never had one come up again, and had decided to stop wasting money on them! They are not that cheap to buy to only last one season

I'm not sure if my choccie cosmos in the front border has survived or not, I left it in again. Got one growing in a pot and it had a flower bud on it last week, but s & s got in the growhouse and munched the bud off!!! Thankfully it has more coming so we are on for some piccies later

All my nectarothingies are flowering, love the candelabra effect - great photo Jilly
