HAVE A GREAT END OF THE YEAR AND A FANTASTIC 2022 !!!!
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR VISITS AND LIKES AND COMMENTS.

I haven’t had a Christmas three for years now. My husband doesn’t want a fake tree but I don’t want a real tree. I always feel so sorry for the three after Christmas. We can’t plant them in our garden so he goes to the recycling center where they make much from it. Poor thing !!!

Each year I buy a bit of new stuff so it looks different every year. On the picture above you can see how it looks this year.
A few close ups.





HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS ALL


Which one do you prefer, the b&w or the colored one ?
Have a great day !

This sun is always shining in my garden, I bought “her” in Spain a long time ago when we were there on holiday. She must be more than 20 years old.
HAVE A GREAT DAY !
We had our first frosts over here, yikes !!! We had so much rain lately so everything is very wet and then wham temperatures below zero, now my garden looks so sad. In the south they even had a layer of snow !! So all I can do is looking at the pictures I made of the flowers earlier this year.

This is a bulb-plant and comes in several colours and shapes. It is a relative of the Amaryllis.
You all know the amaryllis bulb as they bloom in December, most are bright red and huge but they come in many colours.
Nerine flowers in Autumn. They are not always winterhardy, they can take cold but not wet conditions. This one is nerine bowdenii and is one of the most hardy of them all. I found this one in an arboretum I visited earlier this year.
Have a great week, keep safe cos “the beast is back”.







I am not a fan of Autumn cos it means a long time of dark and cold weather and there is not much to do in the garden but I do admire the beauty of Autumn.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND STAY SAFE.


In Spring I bought seeds of this annual malva as I love white flowers. This one is really easy to grow and it blooms for months on end, the big white flowers don’t turn brown when they fade away and that is a plus, you don’t have to remove the old brown flowers as you often have to do with white flowering plants. They also gave me lots of seeds, even the seedbuds are pretty so next year I am going to sow loads of these flowers and I’ll have lots of seeds to give away too.
For me this is winner !
Have a great weekend all and enjoy your garden if you can.
