I put some out for a few hours recently and when I went to bring them in, there were only two packets left from around a dozen. So people will certainly take seeds when they’re offered.

And it was nothing fancy - nigella, native foxgloves, snapdragon, poppies and lots of calendula.

This happens for me with things like snapdragons and foxgloves.

You may be able to carefully snip off an upper, ripe stem and leave the lower areas of the stem on the plant to mature for longer.

This year I’m collecting annuals like calendula, poppies, ammi majus, coriander, red marigold, nigella and Bells Of Ireland. I’ve already done the foxgloves, which are biennials and I have some anise hyssop and hollyhock seeds drying, both of which are perennials.

Hello #GardensHour,

The highlight for September for me is always those deep, gorgeous colours coming in - the lobelia, the wallflowers and sunflowers, and helichrysum, the last of the roses and that little second flush of foxgloves.

(I forgot to take a pic and now it’s dark.)

Oh my goodness…Foxgloves are so beautiful especially when you see that rare white one in the wild. Well that are not that rare just not a lot and they stick out and are so beautiful 🤩

Finished the cross stitch - now doing the backstitch (that's the lines added over the top of the cross stitches). So far I've only done the butterfly backstitch and a bit on the white flowers, got a few sprigs, the birds and the bees still to do.
A completed cross stitich of flowers (mostly dahlias, dog roses, and foxgloves) in pinks, res, and whites, wtih foilage, plus 2 robis, 3 bumble bees, and an orange and black butterfly.

Everyone stop growing foxgloves, honestly, such poison. Bees like other things too!

Im learning so much 👁️ I had to look up foxgloves, the Swedish name is Fingerborgsblomma, named after a thimble since they resembles one. These dont grow in the north unfortunately 🥲

If you have more random facts i will read all day haha

Autumn, aka swearing at bramble season in #scruffyGarden. Time to get the lavender harvest in. And don't eat the forbidden orange tictacs!
A round garden table with a heap of cut lavender. Lords-and-ladies, Arum maculatum. Poisonous to people, but beloved snack to native British birds. In summer, it's a lily, not unlike a peace lily. Aka cuckoo's pint A small posy of flowers against a stone wall. Lavender, allium, foxgloves, all fading and dried.

Seeds to go out in the communal garden beds around our flat:
Daisies (joy)
Honeywort (protection)
Queen Anne's Lace (sanctuary, thrives in the garden of a woman who is true to herself.)
Foxgloves (ambition)
A wildflower bird and bee meadow mix.
Lots of bulbs.

I feel like this person might've made too clickbaity of a title but I think 15 views in a month is crazy for going to the effort to put together a set and play it in a river. I wanted to post it because it deserves better. Also I love the samples c:

Two more. The purple is very strong.
Beautiful bell-shaped and deeply purple foxgloves with spotted white insides peeking out. They are growing up just among the thick grasses under some sumac trees. A single flower with a hairy yellow center and a star shaped profusion of fleshy purple petals; overall though it has the aspect of a play-doh flower made by a child. It is surrounded by greenery.

A rose..probably one of the old heritage varieties with a proper scent.

Dandelion and mint also. Rosemary and sage for the bees.

Foxgloves for the drama. Fuchsia on the boundaries.

Back in the day, about ten years ago I was looking at the verges down in Cornwall and there was this amorphous yearning that grew to be able to recreate the tangled chaotic beauty and riot of colour - Monbretia, mustard, foxgloves

THIS is the closest I’ve ever got…

I’ve worked on it!
