A quick walk round the garden with a pair of scissors this morning yielded a little bunch of late flowers. It's a bit of a pick 'n' mix posy with two dahlias, two penstemons, self-seeded fennel and hollyhock, plus a 'cup and saucer' flower (cobaea scandens) and some white cosmos grown from seed. The cosmos has been the triumph of the summer, flowering for a good three months and still going well.
