Ridgeway Cottage anyhow

Oh hurray at the last, the garden is filling up with flowers and it will just get better every day for weeks and weeks to come. Poached egg plant Strawberry blossom Hawthorn blossom Lily of the valley Crysanthemum daisy           Posted with Blogsy

  I didn't even know that I liked begonias until I had one of my own and now is rather love them.   As I take pictures of my beloved flowers I always think about how much I am going to love having these photos in the winter when the warm sunshine is gone and the garden is bare. The sweet peas disappear forever. And all that is left of my dahlias will be gnarled and ugly tubers. The sunflowers will simply be a paper bag of seeds waiting to be planted in the spring. And sometimes the skeletons of courgettes plants remain frosted away to twisted lifeless structures. I'm really glad it's only 1st August.   Posted with Blogsy

Although I've been at work today making up for the time I took off to see the kiddos end of year thises and thats, there is always time to go out in the garden and see my flowers. This week there are some new kids on the block. I do love flowers so, they totally brighten my day.           And number one favourite this week.... My orange gladioli, the queen of outrageous blousiness   Posted with Blogsy
