SILENT SUNDAY
LOVE IS IN THE AIR
My Guirlande D’amour rose is in bloom and my whole garden smells of roses at the moment. Guirlande D’amour is a rambler rose, half double, snow white and has a lovely delicate smell. I have this rose in my garden for about 20 years now and she is beautifull when in bloom. I give it a cut in Autumn, just the longest branches and then in Spring it gets a good cut and a bit of dried cow manure, thats it. It keeps blooming till the frosts come, not as much as it blooms in June though.
You can’t see anything of the wooden bow as it is completely covered by the rose. This rose is also the favorite place for birds to make their nest in and for the bees of course, they just love it. And so do I.
Have a great day and thanks for your visit.

CHIVES IN BLOOM
As we had a soft Spring the herbs in the garden were early, so at the moment the chives is in bloom. From chives you can eat the leafs but also the flowers, they look pretty in a salad. But I prefer the flowers on the plant as they are in bloom for a long time and the bees love them, so in my garden the flowers are all for the bees.

Have a great day !
EASY PLANT :GERANIUM
If you are looking for easy plants in your garden then think of the geranium family, also called crane’s bill’s.
I am talking about the garden geranium, not the pelargonium that a lot of people call geranium as well, the garden geranium is hardy, the pelargonium is not.
They come in all colours, hights and shapes, they tolerate all sorts of soil, sun or shade, they don’t care. You can have geraniums in bloom from Spring till end of Autumn. They also attract a lot of bees.They don’t disappear completely in Winter and that is a plus because then you know where they are. But they do selfseed, some more like others but personally I don’t care as they can be removed easily where you don’t want them.
I have taken pictures of the ones in bloom in my garden at the moment.
GERANIUM MACRORRHIZUM SPESSART, white with dark red buds
GERANIUM MACRORHIZUM CZAKOR: soft purple
This geranium macrorrhizum comes in many colours and is a good ground cover that blocks all weeds.
GERANIUM PHAEUM : dark purple
I have more geraniums in my garden but they are not in bloom yet, I’ll show them later.
Have a great weekend !!
