    Dahlia ‘Winkie Cinnamon’ — such a great plant, very prolific considering its bloom size. One of my top five.

    My third attempt growing this particular dahlia and while I agree it’s stunning — the hype isn’t really necessary? Especially if it’s hard to grow or doesn’t store well.

    Anyway! I’m still absolutely smitten.

    Hydrangea ’Annabelle’ coming soon.

    Growing things. Pottering. Sneezing 🤧

    Reliable, day-brightening babies.

    All corms, rhizomes and bulbs are in at last. The ranunculus (Marshmallow) I planted early autumn are already poking out of the earth!

    Purple anemone chrysanthemums 🌸

    Missing my dahlias. My “not buying anymore for next season” vow has been cancelled. Not sure why I even considered it 🤭

    How many more days until picking?

    Pretty sure this is not Seaton’s J’adore.
