- Over wintering zinnia -

Wish me luck! I left it a little too late to isolate those big beautiful zinnia before the 1st deep frosts came (life got in the way!).

So as crazy idea I took cuttings and going to attempt to overwinter these zinnia - or at the very least, survive long enough that I can self pollinate and collect seeds.

I’m down in rural Canterbury, so it’s not usual to get -6 in winter! And my greenhouse is not heated so it’s going to take some babying - but will be totally worth it I reckon 🌱

Still my favourites of this dahlia season 🌸

Late autumn really brings back out those rich deep tones that are often lost in the height of summer - it’s like the last hoorah of the dahlias as frosts are lingering not far away!

Sometimes dahlias need to move over and give Zinnias the space to shine 🌸
I love zinnias - they are just so drama free, easy and understated!
These beautiful pinks have adorned my flower border all summer and autumn - with a frost threatening I’ll be sad to see them go!

Pinkie Pie Sunshine & Pinkie Pouffball - what a dream team!

Both of these are flourishing this autumn 🌸💗 its been so nice to finally have a real decent stretch of weather, cannot believe I was actually glad to have a few days of grey skies and light rain!

I love all the summer blooms, dahlias, zinnia even statice. But they all lack scent - For me scented flowers is always what I love the most about flowers.

So for this reason alone Scented Pelargonium is my ride or die foliage - it smells *incredible* and lasts forever in the vase too! My other absolute favourite flower for scent is Phlox.

Do you grow scented Pelargonium?!

Dahlia pastel perfection - but not a drop of blue!

I love pastel colours and with all the breeding in the world it’s genetically impossible to breed a pastel blue dahlia - as dahlias do not have the genes to create blue.

I guess I’ll just have to grow more of these stunning butterfly delphiniums next season 💙

Since my 1st year of growing I’ve always loved Kokopuff.
I remember ‘hunting’ her down and only getting a cutting - which started to rot, and through pure luck, and 1st season naivety, I nursed the damaged rotting cutting to survive the season and get one perfect beautiful flower and it’s been love ever since!

I’ve set about collecting more versions of Kokopuff, which is your favourite?

Never thought I’d be swooning over something called Brian - but, he really is a dream 🤭

Brian’s Dream, dahlia perfection 🌸
Thank you so much .dip.dahlia for hunting this stunned down and sharing it with me!

A big vase of all my season favourites so far 🌸

It’s been such a slow season with this crappy summer - but always the optimist I have my fingers crossed for warm lingering autumn!

Who is your favourite dahlia this season?! I always find it so hard to choose!
