Garden notes, 10 June 2019

The running wave has been languishing in hospital for eight days with flu aggravated asthma, rather hoping that the garden would have been becoming more colourful in her absence. Not so! The weather over the past week has been cold, grey and rainy, so when I got home last night I wasn't entirely surprised to see that things had barely moved since last weekend. Lots of buds and promise, but not much colour. On the upside - it is all still to come!

However, today has been glorious and there have been dozens of bumblebees buzzing around the plants in the garden. It really was a case of a bee-loud garden!

In the outer garden some of the wild flowers are beginning to bloom, long awaited and lovely!

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!

(Not) in a vase on Monday!

The challenge this week, set by Cathy at https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com to celebrate five years of In a Vase on Monday, was to offer (Not) in a vase on Monday! So here is my interpretation of that idea with one of my Plant Belles, which I tend to use for things I find and enjoy. I weave bits and pieces through the metal ribs and keep them until they fall apart, or something even better turns up! Lichen covered twigs, branches of larch with tiny cones, seed heads, twisted heather stems, anything and everything that has form and beauty.
