Emma, Any seeds going from the Cardoons please.
I assume the heads are full of seeds Rosebud. I shall pick one on Friday when I am at the plot and bring it home and cut it open to see what it reveals. If all is well, I will get them off to you! ;D
I think it is to late for me to use them as dried flowers as the weather has taken it's toll on them, but they look great on the plot. I wil leave them as they are over winter - planning ahead you see....thinking of one of the winter months photo comp, a globe flower glitering with ice.....ooooo ahhhhhhh
Rosebud i might be able to help you with cordon seeds have some dried heads if you would like some pm me with your addy
