My Dad planted some in the wall that divided our garden from the next door neighbours, many years ago. They were lovely and only open when the sun shines of course.

All the houses on our little estate used to have some in their front gardens. I haven't seen them for ages Shame about the sunflowers I love to see fields of them.

I have planted other old fashioned flowers this year, straw flowers and Statice, real throwbacks to the 70s! An awful lot of things just not coming to fruition this year in terms of plants and fruit. However, I had also commented that Hydrangeas seem to be really coping.menopausalmusinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255069917743230560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-5812136158678988272012-07-29T10:56:38.748+01:002012-07-29T10:56:38.748+01:00Love your old fashioned flowers!
