A big thanks to our good friend Rich R up in the Lake District for sending over the photograph of his cosmos (and a shout to Debby H too, as the seeds came from her plants). Rich writes, “Really cold here today, wind chill feels like 2°C. With hard frosts and snow on the way, I thought I’d better send you this pic of the cosmos before it’s too late.”
Brilliant stuff, Rich – thanks again (and to Debby H) for sharing!
Weeds up to me knees 
Rich – I am pleased that your cosmos is doing so well up there in the Lake District. We still have some flowers here in London but the plants are looking a bit sad now. I have heard they will keep flowering until the frosts come.
