ROSE, UNKNOWN (not in my garden)

As you can see I haven’t much to show you for this month. As I told you before we have a really odd Summer this year with lots of rain and cold for the time of the year. Once in a while we have a nice sunny and warm day, sometimes 2 but that’s about it. Many of my flowers have rotted before they even could open. I go looking in my garden several times a day hoping there is a flower that is nice enough to take a picture of. I am not complaining, we didn’t have floods nor fire like many other parts in the world.

Take care and stay safe !

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.

MALVA
DAHLIA
ICE FLOWERS(mesembryantemum)
BEGONIA
ANOTHER DAHLIA
SOON TO BE FLOWERING : CROCOSMIA LUCIFER (bright red)
CUCUMBER HERB.(borage)

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.

APPLES

Lately we have been having very wet, windy and cool weather with lots of thunder so my garden doesn’t look it’s best but it is green and lush and growing, only the flowers look a bit tatty at the moment. So here’s an update on my appletree’s I showed you a while ago.

  • these are the apple flower buds in april
  • both my mini apple tree’s had loads of buds
  • this is the youngest and the smallest of the 2, it had lots of flowers but no apples, there were tiny apples but they all fell off
  • this is the biggest of the 2 and it has quite a bit of apples at the moment, last year it had none
  • Here you can see one of them and they are groing nicely as you can see

I hope you all had a wonderfull 4th of July weekend.

Take care and have a wonderful week.
