A WALK IN A NEARBY ARBORETUM

Yesterday was a nice day, dry for a change so we went to the arboretum to take a few pictures. Alas the rain and storms we had lately damaged a lot of flowers but I found some that were still beautiful.

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.

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

Take care and have a wonderful week.
