WORDLESS WEDNESDAY


about my garden, art and travelling, nature ,photography and a few words of wisdom

I think June is the most beautiful month in my garden with the most flowers. Almost every day I see some new blooms. It is so nice now to stroll in my garden. Alas the weeds are doing fine too.
Some pictures for you to see.





The thistle, the verbena and the malve attract a lot of bees, butterflies and other insects. So dubble fun !
Have a great day and thanks for passing by !

My white oleander is finally in bloom. It reminds me of our vacations in the South of Europe. Although it is a mediterrean shrub it needs a lot of water in Summer. They can be pruned into small tree’s.

It is so hot here at the moment but rain is on the way.
Have a great day !
We had quite a bit of rain lately so my garden looks a bit tatty but everything is growing fast. I cannot believe we are going towards the end of June already.
I had a bit of a stroll in the garden today and I took some pictures for you to see.





The buzz of the bees in my garden is overwhelming at the moment. And I love it.
Have a great weekend all !!

I love succulents, but many of you already know that. I found one I didn’t have yet, it is a lot bigger than most of my other succulents. I keep them in a pot in the garden as they don’t like rain and cold in Winter so they overwinter in the greenhouse, however they survive in Winter outside but then they stuggle to get back to normal in Spring. This is the one with the biggest rosettes at the moment.

This year’s colour scheme for the front garden will be red and yellow. A few more days and we can finally put the annuals out. But first we might get a few nights of light frost despite day temperatures of arround 25 C°. Recently we changed our front garden, we removed all the plants and shrubs, then put dark grey pebbles everywhere and we added a few big rocks. The front garden was just too time consuming. So now I have to make the place look more colourfull with flowers. So I thought about red and yellow. I’ll show you when it’s finnished ok.

ONE OF THE FLOWERS I’LL USE ARE RED DAHLIA’S, AS THEY’LL GIVE A BIT OF HEIGHT

AND LOTS OF YELLOW TAGETES
But I want more red and yellows as I have big pots. It is not easy to go to the garden center at the moment, they reopened only a week ago cos of the coronavirus. And in a few days other shops may open again but there are lots of rules to follow. Not in my wildest dreams I could imagine something that would have such an impact on our lives and of the lives of everyone on the planet.
Have a great weekend and stay safe !
