Life got in the way of my gardening this summer. I took some photos just before that happened and was able to look at them a few days ago. These are some of my joys This delphinium was moved last year and we were very pleased with how it did. Hubby is 6 ft. I love that there are so many honey bees that they look like part of the flowers. One of my favourite accomplishments - and an honour seed/plant for a dear friend. whomever decided that deer don't like bread seed poppies was wrong. Maybe they had a little joy eating them? hee hee
Those are beautiful, Melody! You have a healthy bee population. I love that! The honour seed plant... so exotic. Your deer might be feeling no pain for a while You were missed!
@Melody Mc. Beautiful huge dels. Wow. That’s got to be a height record. I’ve never seen any that tall . What a treat to see … It’s aways a great feeling to see our beautiful plants and flowers doing so well in our gardens. From what I’ve seen of your garden this season you have got all those amazing skills to grow anything and everything. Your poppy is an eye popper! The rewards for your hard work is priceless. Very happy to see your beautiful posts and glad to see you around again too. Sending good vibes your way that life will be a little easier for you in the up coming weeks and months.
Yea!! She’s back….and back with colour. You started off with a hard-working bumblebee on what looks like a lovely Centaurea sort. The bees on the Delphinium are remarkable to see. Those plants really are tall, aren’t they. Cor! That honour plant is really pretty, we call it, “juffertje in het groen”. Yours is very pretty. You have a very nice poppy there. Very blowsy. Too bad the deer find them tasty. Did I say that I am delighted to see you back?
Thank you so much Frank, Sjoerd and Pac. I have missed the Stew very much. Thank you so much for the kind words. Makes my heart sing.
Urmmmm. What song does it sing then, “achy-breaky heart”? I feel honoured to be serenaded by a heart. Wait one… I’m calling Guiness. Woah— a singing heart! Why, you could make a fortune touring the world.
Beautiful blooms Mel. Love the delphinium ... amazing! I had the same problem this year. I barely spent any time in the flower beds. I'm going to change that next year
I totally agree . I think melody should get the best plant of the month award. Her delphinium's are by far the prettiest and largest I have ever seen. Kudos to @Melody Mc. We need to graduate her from ‘Young Pine’ to ‘ Mighty Oak’ .
