Can you believe there's actually 44 seeds there, harvested from this third year seedling.

There's so many possibilities of what these precious seeds will produce next year. 🤞

It will soon be culling time and there's a few named ones and several seedlings that won't be returning next year, to make space for this years first year keeper seedlings.

I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in already looking forward to next year, planning the beds over winter, deciding which ones go next to each other to hopefully produce some more fantastic seedlings. 🤞

🌱 The name of this Collarette sums it up so perfectly...BY So Obsessed!!

I am literally obsessed with this flower. The colouring, the form & the way it has so many facets of colour throughout the season. It is just so gorgeous & such a prolific bloomer!!

I have managed to harvest some seeds & I am so excited to see what the seedlings will look like next year!

Tuber, so kindly gifted to me by the King of Collarettes @dahlia.nut. If you haven't seen his incredible flower collection, do have a look & give him a follow.
