Some flowers I find some strange emotional attachment to, like an in instant desire of wanting to covet them somewhere in the home so I can admire them for as long as possible. This bowl of August delights is full of cultivated treasures that I will be sad to part with on the compost heap. From dahlias to annual and perenial phlox, nigella, mallow & corn cockle. All of my favourite things, in one harmonious place. Sigh. This is what growing is all about. x
