Boy, the weather here sure has been strange! One day I think my plants will get hit by frost and the next day it's 32°C again! It's no wonder my plants are confused! I found this little Primula blooming the other day The Maltese Cross has suddenly started blooming again The Duchess of Edinburgh has made another appearance The Dahlia bud that I thought would never be able to open has opened The Black and Blue Salvia is just blooming it's little heart out This planter has suddenly perked up too - Victoria Blue Salvia and Iresine Brillantissima And I just can't resist another sunset for Eileen!
Wow!!! Netty those are beautiful this time of year .You think its their way of trying to say goodbye for now?
Oh I that gorgeous sunset Netty. Thank you for thinking of me. It's already nicked and in my special folder. Your garden is definately putting on a wonderful show at the moment. Even here I have flowers still blooming that should have died back ages ago. I'm not complaining though as this time of year is usually do drab in the garden. My favourite piccie is the Duchess of Edinburgh - so fragile looking and what a beautiful double layered petal arrangement it has.
Everything is so beautiful Netty. Especially the sunset and the planter. I really need to find a source for the Iresine, it is gorgeous with the blue Salvia and I have two large tubs empty and just waiting to be planted with something that beautiful.
Wow! Your flowers are just gorgeous! The weather really has had its ups and downs lately. I have been trying to enjoy it and stre..t..ch out our growing season just a little bit more. It ends all too soon.
Love your flower pictures Netty. Weather here is changing daily. After our frost, then rain & winds. Our 60 degree weather today to 73 degrees tomorrow (Sunday) with sunshine. Go figure, huh.
The sunset is breath taking... And the flowers are so beautiful. I'm hoping to find and have beautiful flowers for spring. Thanks for sharing...
The primula is so pretty! The purple/pink and yellow make the perfect pair. The Duchess of Edinburgh and dahlia are my favorites, I think. Simply stunning!
Dearest Nettie: Your flowers are absolutely gorgeous, and this is the first time that I have ever seen some of these varieties. Makes me want to move up to your neck of the woods, and claim you as kin immediately!!! What brand/type of camera do you use? I am looking for something special, and your specimens look like they are done by a professional photographer!
I use a Fuji FinePix...nothing fancy, I think it cost about $150. The weather has certainly been a roller coaster lately! The temperatures have been above normal, we've finally gotten some desperately needed rain and today the forecast sounds more like a summer day. We are still waiting for our first frost!
