Haven't been able to get out and about this week so a few flowers from our garden. Actually, the flower below is trying to escape from next doors' garden but is very welcome.
Tucked away next to the bird house
A geranium, who doesn't seem to mind if I sometimes forget to give it water.
Hydrangeas, so easy to grow. This one is in a biggish container. I heard a saying which said
that Hydrangeas are like happiness in bloom. Not sure about that but they fill a space.
I think this must be some sort of geranium.
Yes, it was very dry when I snapped the next photo, but they were still smiling.
And then the wind blew ...
Next, a cluster of colour leaning happily on Cornish stone
A dahlia, this one comes back year after year
Looks like the next dahlia is off for a walk as the sun goes down.
A fuchsia, so perfect I had to have a closer look. I can understand why Claude Monet said, "I must have flowers, always and always I must have flowers."
And to finish off with some sunshine, well sort of.

Thanks for visiting my blog ~ Mike.
Here's another garden type post:
I would say that you are growing the flowers that Monet would love! These are all lovely. I’ve been waiting nearly a year for a hydrangea to bloom. They are not too fond of the summer heat here. There is nothing like a blooming garden to boost a grey day. I hope you are enjoying a great summer. As always, Ann K.
ReplyDeleteHello Ann, always good to hear from you. There are hydrangeas everywhere at the moment. Along the road where we live there is a stretch of various hydrangeas and colours next to the narrow road, it looks a lovely. I must remember to take a photo. Trust all is well, good wishes.
ReplyDeleteWell your garden is bustling with wonderful flowers Mike. I particularly like the cactus Dahlia. I only have one blooming at the moment, but the others are gearing up for a show.The fuchsias really are exquisite. I hope that you are keeping well. Lulu :) x
ReplyDeleteThe rain has spoilt a couple of the dahlias but there are lots more buds to follow. Thanks Lulu
