Lovely!  All these flowery pics have certainly made my mind up to grow my 'pretties' on the plot next year.  I adore the rudbeckias Simon!!

Beautiful Simon. I too cut my sweet peas every other day. My Rudbeckia is WAY behind yours...only buds at the moment. I like to have freshly cut flowers indoors.

Oh your cut flowers are gorgous. I particularly like sweetpeas but mine don't smell much this year. Perhaps it's the variety I chose!

I love the rudbeckia and they look stunning in that galvanised bucket, I never thought about growing some at the allotment for cutting and will do next year. So far this year I've cut lillies, daliahs, sweetpeas, cornflowers, cosmos, daisies and poppies...still waiting for the gladioli to flower and didn't have the heart to cut the sunflowers.  :)

Hi thanks everyone  :) I've loved growing flowers on my plot, the rudbeckias I started in the green house at the end of March. Those are "goldilocks mixed". The buckets were going cheap so I had two of them! Will have more pics soon I hope :)
