well worth showing off Shirley 8) Don't they make an impressive sweep? Think they look grand.

Same with me, this is my second year with Cosmos and they make such a lovely display and last a long time.    Great pics.

with a lovely chocolate smell. Must grow that one
next year.   ::)

Great pics Shirley. I also grew them for first time this year (seeds supplied by A4A member) but mine grew to about 4/5ft. They look lovely when they are swaying in the breeze.. Well done to your group.

Linlithgow - we are in the finals for Medium Town for Scotland in Bloom.  This is the 1st year we have entered.  Know the results mid September.

I have chocolate cosmos but its not as striking as the bedding Cosmos. 

Hope Linlithgow does well this year.  You maybe up against some of the Border Towns.  I know Melrose often wins the small town category.  Good luck anyways.

;) ;) ;)
