There was a lovely selection of flowers that respondents mentioned. Very popular were sunflowers -one of my favourites too. This photo of sunflowers is a bunch that came from my patch in January. I love the bronze tones of these ones.
Nasturtiums and violas also seemed popular. I haven't grown nasturtiums for a very long time but agree, they are so lovely. Does anyone really pickle their buds as a substitute for capers?

This picture of violas is again from my garden. They are always in my late winter early spring garden and self seed like crazy.


I had promised to give away three little packets, but as my seed collecting has been quite successful and as I had 4 respondents, everyone's a winner! Kate, Liz, Kirsty and Bec, send me an email with your postal address and a little pack of Holbrook poppy seeds is on its way to you! (louisehighfields@gmail.com).
