NO FLOWERS TODAY, SORRY

Yesterday we went on a daytrip with the grandkids to a safari park in the Netherlands. Much to my surprise I met one of my favorite animals; the gorilla, there were quite a few of them and they were all male, there was one female with a baby but they were not with the male gorilla’s.

THIS IS MUM AND HER BABY, SHE WAS PLACED WITH A GROUP OF CHIMPS WHO ALSO HAD BABIES.

What a pity you can’t just go near them and shake hands or give them a big cuddle !!

Have a great weekend all !!

WHAT SEASON ARE WE IN ??

It is the beginning of August and for us it is the middle of Summer but the heath and drought have ruined a lot of plants so now it looks like Autumn.

It is the second year in a row, I think we should start looking for plants that tolerate more heath and more drought.

AMELANCHIER
BURNED AMELANCHIER

I took this picture 2 days ago and now this tree is almost bare, all the yellow leafs have gone with the wind.

GERANIUM MACRORHIZUM

My gernaniums look all death, luckily I know they’ll come back when we have had a lot of rain and lower temperatures.

FERNS
HENS AND CHICKS (sempervivum)

Even the hen’s and chicks are burned !!!! I have put most of my plants in pots in the shade but as we may not use the waterhose cos of the drought, I have to water them by hand, a huge job.

Have a great weekend all !
