Good morning #Thursday! The first of my trial #sunflowers, a dwarf variety showcased at #RHSChelsea this year called Desire Red. It's a multi-branching variety and is only 2ft tall, growing successfully in pots. I have a comprehensive post on my site of most of the multi-branching varieties, from knee-height to giants and where to get them! https://www.mandycanudigit.com/2017/08/16/best-multi-branching-sunflowers/

Congratulations to #MyelomaUK and garden designer Chris Beardshaw on winning the #PeoplesChoice award at #RHSChelsea flower show. A stunningly beautiful way to raise awareness of this #blood #cancer for which there as yet, is no cure.

As soon as your protests become destructive, I really don't care what you're protesting any more, even if it's a good thing.
Even worse, one of the protestors had the lack of mind to shout "What good is a garden if you can't eat?"
Well, have you considered planting courgettes instead of throwing paint in the soil, you idiot?

@GardenBrocante: Good morning. Some very small flowers from the garden in a lovely, small, solid copper watering can I bought from a brocante in France many years ago. I’m glad I kept it, I was going to sell it at #rhschelsea Happy Tuesday xx https://t.co/EnICRZYiLX

Day 14 of the Flower Advent Calendar and the rather beautiful Iris 'Kent Pride', spotted at RHS Chelsea a few years ago.

It appeared in Cheering Up Mondays in May to mark press day at the show.
