Ages ago my daughter wanted to plant cornflowers from seed, they’re finally starting to bloom!
It wasn’t too sunny yesterday and my husband bought a big parasol so we got that put together and enjoyed some time in the garden looking at all the bees that these new flowers seem to attract. Also saw a whole range of butterflies so my daughter was overjoyed.
Hope everyone is staying safe in what has been really hot weather x

Got my first ones this year ...didn't realise they were so tall!! Thought they were like the forget- me-not's 😯 which sprung up all over my beds 😊...hoping these spread too... Bravo your daughter....ml
I love cornflowers, and your pic has sparked a plan to grow some in containers, in a gritty compost, next year, as they don't like my heavy garden soil much and rarely manage to self-seed. I will have an entire miniature wildflower meadow in pots
They're beautiful tea and toast and your garden looks so lovely. Lots of hard work i bet but so rewarding!. Im glad you've been able to be out in your garden despite the heat. Its cooler now here so i hope it is with you. Keep safe and planting. Xx
Thank you! Not my hard work I’m afraid, previous owner was a gardener so when we moved in there was a really lovely array of plants, sadly I have killed some off! I don’t even know what they all are so I used to spend lots of time googling things like “tree with blue flowers” to find out how to care for it! 🤣 I’m certainly not as green fingered as it would appear!
