Teasel Bee 🪴☕️ 🌍 🎨

@GWmag Obsessed with this colour now! So glad it did finally flower.

Show us the flowers you've grown from seed this year by adding a photo to the thread below, and we'll share a few of our favourites next week!

@GWandShows two tone Hollyhock? (The rest of the plant is the pastel yellow…) 🤔

@just_cameroon @GardensHour 🤩🤩🤩 love these!

@dottimj @GardensHour Giant scabious at the moment - about 7 foot tall #gardenshour

It’s time for your questions! Is there any advice you’d like from the #GardensHour community? Ask below on this thread and we’ll try and find your answer! 👇

@GardensHour Our current border (with previously mentioned plants)… will start a list of new suggestions now 😅

@GardensHour Can you recommend tall structural flowers/plants - similar to (we already have) Foxglove, Teasel, Cardoon, Verbena, Angelica. We have a “tall border” we would like to add to.

@IanMac69 @GardensHour We do have a few - I’m hoping my black ones come to fruition next year 🤞

@dottimj @GardensHour Or hollyhocks? I’m considering going old school. They seem old school to me as I just don’t hear them mentioned.

@Rosiecat2 @GardensHour Possibly Eryngium?

@GardensHour Hi first time posting on @GardensHour asking for help identifying this plant. I planted it as a bare root plant, but have no idea now what it is. Thanks for any help

@GWandShows help! Are these the same/different type of Geranium? Never seen the top ones before???

@Bramblings22 Try (white) blue bells - mine are N. facing and thriving.

I have a half barrel and a large round terracotta pot and I can't think what to do with them. Nothing seems to do well in barrel. Was a mini pond, now ferns but not doing well. My patio is north facing shade. Any ideas? Send me your pot pics please.

@wildflower_hour @BSBIbotany One of 5 clumps in my garden.

Have you seen a Cowslip in bloom this year? This week’s challenge is to find one and share your pics for #wildflowerhour this Sunday using the hashtag #CowslipChallenge. Happy flower hunting! 💛

@urbanponds101 @GardensHour I grow some taken from the bird seed 😅

Hands up who's order this years sunflower seeds? #gardenshour

@wildflower_hour We’ve seen Celandines in Shrewsbury along the Reabrook. Isn’t it very early for them though?

Woohoo! It’s time for #wildflowerhour! So looking forward to see which wild & naturalised plants you’ve spotted blooming this week! Have you spotted any Celandines yet? These are beauties Lin, thank you so much for sharing them! 💛

🥁🥁it’s time to unveil the official art work for our 21st festival It captures the theme of TREASURE perfectly & this year it’s been created by committee member @dottimj It’s just perfect.

@gdavies wanted to let you see this amazing piece by a son of a friend.

@Liam_Ball92 Current temp in Belle Vue, Shrewsbury 🥶

Is Shawbury broken? Temperature has just fallen almost 4c in a hour. Currently -7c, was -3.1c at 8pm.👇

@OrkneyLibrary @MichaelRosenYes We had a different ending - Beans beans Are good for your heart The more you eat The more you fart The more you fart The more you eat The more you end up On a toilet seat 😂

Wish I could go back and tell Primary 4 age me that one day I would be comparing fart poems with @MichaelRosenYes.

@ChilternSeeds so excited as all your beautifully (environmentally friendly) packaged seeds turned up - but the stupid delivery driver left them on the door step in the deluge of rain yesterday… hoping they will dry out/not sprout prematurely 😭🤞
