colouring in and fitting the backdrop to your little garden

Cornflower - the blue flowers were used as a dye for colouring food. Calendula - if your birthday is in October, Calendula is your birth flower! Chrysanthemum - did you know they come originally from China and Japan? 24/6/08 10:59:10 Godetia - known as the ‘satin’ flower because the petals are shiny and smooth. Pansy - the name comes from the French word pensee which means thought - because the pansy flower resembles a face.

you will meet them all in the summer! Plant your seeds: March-May Plants will flower: July-September
