JULY FLOWERS

We have a very odd Summer this year, cool and wet so I haven’t as many flowers as usually. Last year it was so hot I spent hours in front of the fan. This year we got airco and voila, we haven’t used it even once 😀 But hey, I am not complaining, I like this cooler weather.

**SOON TO BE FLOWERING : CROCOSMIA LUCIFER** (bright red)

I just love the blue flowers of this herb. The plant is not really prettty but the flowers are. And it attracts a lot of bee’s.

I hope you are all well and happy. Take care and thanks for visiting.

Beautiful flowers! I think the weather is weird everywhere. Weird is the new normal.

  You can say that again ! The South of Belgium (and other European countries) is totally flooded, houses are gone, people are death, others are waiting on top of their roofs for help, it all happened in a few hours time. I live in the North and we had only a bit of rain. This never happened in the past, flooding yes, but not like this and not is a few hours time.

  Officially it is called borago, but the leafs can be used in salads and soups and tastes like cucumber. The blue flowers can be eaten as well and are used to decorate salades.
