Some Of My Favourite Flowers From 2012.

I don’t know about you but I’m chewing on the proverbial bit in anticipation of Spring and the new sowing season. I was looking over photographs of the Higgledy flower field last year and thought I would share some with you…a little reminder of what has been and what is yet to come.

Cosmos Bipinnatus Pied Piper — Cosmos Bipinnatus ‘Pied Piper’

Aster as a cut flower — Aster ‘Ostrich Plume’

Blue cornflower seeds — ‘Blue Ball’ Cornflower

Cornflowers 'Black Ball' — ‘Black Ball’ Cornflowers

cut flower seeds — Mixed bed of annuals. The pink Cosmos is ‘Sensation’.

Dahlia 'Cactus Flower' — Dahlia ‘Cactus’.

Edible Borage Flowers — Borage (Found in my ‘Edible Flowers’ collection)

Flowers for chalk soil — Rudbeckia ‘Marmalade’.

Grow cut flowers — More Cornflowers…and the lovely Karen.

Cut flower patch — Rows of Calendula, Godetia and Cornflowers.

Larkspur 'Sublime Blue' — Larkspur ‘Imperials’

Nicotiana 'Lime Green'. — Nicotiana ‘Lime Green’.

sunflower vanilla ice — sunflower ‘Vanilla ice’.

Annual flowers — Scabiosa, Cosmos ‘Sensation’ & Rudbeckia ‘Marmalade’.

Alphonzo — Alfie making sure my fleece doesn’t blow away or get stolen by badgers.

All the above flowers…but not Alfie…can be bought in the Higgledy Seed Shop.

…and here’s to a wonderful flower growing season in 2013!

Kindest regards

Benjamin Higgledy
