Your blooms still look fabulous to me Sjoerd! And you have a few on my list too...Crocosmia, Butterfly Bush and I've always wanted to try those Chocolate Cosmos but now I'm not so sure.
Now I don't feel so bad for my chocolate cosmos dying. I'm in good company. Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. muddy
Don't give up on them Netty. I really suspect that the problem was with our exceedingly wet weather this year. As I said, next year, I shall let them get big under glass prior to setting them out and then I fully expect 100% success. BTW--chack this out--there are some helpful tips. http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plants/p ... /227.shtml
