I'm so much in love with my dwarf dhalias. Also, these pink roses from an old rosebush.

Good morning with the neighbour's cat, lots of dhalias, and a doggy who likes to sleep in awkward positions.

Thank you 😊 I 'm really looking forward to returning this year.

Also, here is the nearly daily garden delights picture. I can't help it, dahlias and gladioli are overdoing themselves this summer. 😍

It's the only pale pink so far.

I love my garden 😍 ❤️, my mum would love it too. I started it after her death as a memorial garden, with flowers she used to have at home. Now, the place is evolving as I learn more about plants finding new species. The core is still the summer cut flowers.

More garden flowers.

adriennk.bsky.social @adriennk.bsky.social · Aug 4

More wind damage and a fresh bouquet for my Mum.

adriennk.bsky.social @adriennk.bsky.social · Aug 4

If you wonder why all these lovelies are inside. We are having a luvly(!) morning, gale force strong wind in the costal part of the North. Here, the gusts are tearing down my gladioli.
