Sunflowers have such attractive and pretty late summer and autumn blooms and they have been the subject of many famous and beautiful paintings. Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Georgia O’Keeffe and Paul Gauguin spring to mind. I don’t paint, but I love taking photos of them. Here are a few favourites.
Have a sunflower day. 🌻
We may be one day away from the official start of autumn but there are still many beautiful garden sights and the weather right now is glorious, too.
Happy Friday.
Wishing you a happy flower Friday.
I’ve been watching these panicle hydrangeas over the last couple of weeks as they have developed into incredibly lush and beautiful clusters of flowers.
The bush is about 2.5 metres tall (approx. 8ft) and covered in these rich pink and white panicle bundles. They are now reaching the height of their beauty.
Aren’t they lovely?
Happy Friday.
Although we’re heading into September, there are still many, many late bloomers providing beauty, colour and scent. Here are some highlights from this week’s flower lovelies.
Happy long weekend.
We may be heading into late August, but the flowers are still beautifully and steadily blooming. Here’s a sampler.
Happy flower Friday. 🌸
Right now we have beautiful hydrangeas blooming everywhere. They are very sensitive to soil conditions which is why we can find a wide variety of stunningly attractive colours.
Have a flower power day.
… in black and white
… and in the original.
I wish you a rosy Sunday.
The lavender is glorious right now and it’s wonderful to pass by a bush and hear the gentle humming of the bees. The air around them almost seems to be vibrating!
I have lately seen lavender bushes alive with their busy business. Given that their overall numbers have been dropping, it’s absolutely marvellous to see so many of them.
Happy Thursday. 🐝
Happy Monday.
