Just looking through old research. This is the “Read’s patent garden watering engine” displayed at the 1852 Great exhibition. Victorians believed that plants absorbed moisture through their leaves, so here a Victorian lady is waters the bejeebers out of a rose 😳 #Bloomscrolling #FlowersOnFriday

It’s all about the carder.

A throw back for #InsectThursday when you can catch more than just a honeybee in a photo it’s a sign that your garden eco system is balanced. Here a leaf-cutter moves in to share the pollen from a Globe buddleja cutting i had grown. #Bloomscrolling #bees #pollinators #GardensHour #insects

Exactly that!

A large “dinner plate” dahlia.
Lovely.

Can’t say for sure because it’s new to me. My suspicion is unstable genetics. It was consistent for 3 blooms then went bonkers.😂 i get all the special needs plants #GardensHour

It really is and it’s HUGE! Flowers the size of cafe su lait and over 4 ft tall. It’s a mutant! #GardensHour

It’s been a surprise from day one. It wasn’t the one I thought i’d planted 😂 glad it was. I have taken cuttings. Lord knows what they will do. #GardensHour

Thank you.

This dahlia wins this years prize fir most entertaining plant. Or most genetically unstable. Every flower is different #GardensHour #Bloomscrolling #dahlia
