Flowers

I grow flowers for their colour, their shape (especially if strange) and for nostalgic or sentimental reasons. I grow them to look at, and watch them as they develop. I grow flowers from bulbs and from plants, and a few from seed. But I also encourage flowers which seed themselves. A few were in the garden when we moved here, either as garden plants or as weeds.
