Garden notes - during Wimbledon!

The garden marches on into July.
My mother grew regale lilies in big old terracotta pots and I always loved them.  I have wanted to grow them all my adult life and FINALLY I bought some bulbs and here they are - looking regal, and smelling delicious.  Wafts of scent blowing around the garden.

      Thanks Mrs E. The flowers are just doing their thing - not a lot to do with me!! I have just crammed them in as it is such a small space, and they are getting on it, bless their hearts! I keep taking photos because in the depths of winter they will serve as a happy reminder of a pretty summer! Love to all. A xx

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.
