This has been a great growing season for my cut flower garden.

The dahlias are beautiful and varied, with mostly pinks and purples.



I pinched the cosmos plants early, and they have provided lots of stems.


Statice is a great filler in bouquets.


This was the first year I started this celosia cockscomb with good success. Good stalks for cutting, striking colour, long lasting in the house. Yellow, orange, red, and a fuchsia tone.



And this wheat type celosia, also used as a filler in my bouquets.

And of course zinnia! I learned about pinching the small plants, and the results are big bushy plants, with lots of long stems for cutting.


Only 5 of the lisianthus germinated, and I potted them up together. I would love to have rows of these, with lots of colours. So lovely.

So this was the cutting results this morning.


Three bouquets for today.
