On our recent vacation in France I took a lot of pictures of roses. The roses in my garden did not bloom well this year as the huge amounts of rain and the cold temperatures damaged the flowers, then they rotted. My garden is still pretty green except for the blooms of the garden geraniums.
Have a great weekend and enjoy your garden or balcony. Take care .
What with all the rain we have been having for many months my garden looks lush and green now, most flowers are far behind.
On the left you see a viburnum, on the right is my rosa guirlande d’amour
In the back you see my goatsbeard, it is not in bloom yet, the garden geraniums (macrorrhizum) are performing well.
The biggest green spot is from viburnum tinus, on the right is a laurel, on the left you see a bit of my syringa meyeri, a small lilac bush.
This is sedum spurium, winterhardy and makes a lovely green carpet.
This is our pond, completly overgrown, the plants just exploded, they seem to love all the rain.
Another garden geranium, geranium sanguineum, a small geranium that performs well.
They are not expecting good weather any time soon, the snails are having a party every night, for me that is the biggest worry, they have ruined a lot of my seedlings. But there are worse problems in the world, I feel for the people who’s house and everything in it is ruined, for the people who are trying to survive in the many wars all over the globe, who lost their kids and relatives….
As I am still going through my old pictures, I found some I totally forgot. They are not all of good quality, I had a small camera and I didn’t know then what I know now about photography. Most of the time it is rainy and you can see the garden comming to life again but so far nothing worth to take pictures off.
