The public rose garden in Penticton is still beautiful and will probably hold out for about another month before the gardeners put it to bed for the winter.
Given our lovely weather, lots of people are sitting among the flowers, eating lunch, reading, or just enjoying.
It’s a perfect place to escape life’s stresses.
Happy Tuesday.
… a very large one …
… and a very small one.
Happy Monday.
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.
September beginnings …
… warm weather, bright sunshine …
… time to enjoy the waning season as it draws to a gentle close.
Happy Tuesday.
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 have just completed 24 hours of slow, gentle rain, truly a gift for this parched, hot area. Fear of massive fires such as we had last summer were always with us, but we’ve been getting enough rain to keep the orange monster at bay, thankfully.
There are still signs of dryness but the soil has lots of moisture now …
… and the ponds are full.
Happy Sunday.
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.
