Garden flora

 I've loved my garden SO much over the course of being at home all these months. I've come to love my home even more too and the location we live in.

It's been great to see the garden changing and to have the time to spend out there seeking the beauty and seeing the changes.  Here are a few recent photos.

In July, I cut the yellow rose right down after it had flowered.  CBC was dismayed and said I'd cut it too much! A month later and it had shot up to taller than me again and flowered.

The Golden Rod was very pretty and short-lived though sadly, some of the stems bent over a lot.

CBC is a walking contradiction. When he saw my lilac-coloured French-bean flowers, he was disappointed that they weren't the 'lovely red flowers'. I told him those come from Runner Beans.  I obtained 3 Runner bean plant via a benevolent neighbour and now they have the pretty red flowers. I served him up Runner beans for dinner and he began to bemoan how he much preferred French beans.  Sigh.

My trailing Begonia was a much loved housewarming present from a friend and its pretty pot goes so nicely on the shed.  The flowers have been very attractive too!

The Passiflora returns with avengeance every year, every month, every week.  Nothing can tame it!

The Seedum is starting to flower now, giving low-level pretty pink flowers.

The Verbena Bonariensis keeps going.  Such tiny flowers but they are delicious to all the flying pollinators!

I already shared our new Agapanthus plants flowering so beautifully but here are last years's smaller but more delicately pretty blooms.

There's plenty more to share when I get around to it soon.

Hope you are well.x
