Wildflowers

Hi!  Thanks for all the great supportive comments on my last post - I enjoyed them all and had a few laughs at some of them!  Work on the Sorbetto top continues - the day job is getting in the way.  Hopefully I'll have something to show you before long.  I've not given up yet!

I took pictures of our wildflower border a couple of weeks ago, and have been meaning to show you.



Earlier in the year the Lumberjack cleared the turf and planted some wildflower seeds.  For ages it was just a dusty old patch of earth... I found it hard to imagine it changing.  But it did!

These pictures really don't do it justice - I think the sun was too bright (not that I'm complaining), and washed out the colour a bit.  Hopefully you get the idea.  Just imagine these pictures even more vibrant and colourful!



Every day we go for a stroll to the bottom of the garden to check out what's appeared!  Over the last month or so it's been amazing seeing the different flowers popping up.



I absolutely love it!  It's just so wild and natural and pretty.

And here's a rose growing elsewhere in the garden...



Couldn't resist getting a shot of that.

Remember the Blog Hop?  Alex's post is ready to read over at Hydrangea Girl - so go check it out!


Hopefully back soon with a Sorbetto to show you... fingers crossed!

  4. Oh *swoon*!!! Those wildflowers are simply garden perfection in my eyes! Just nature at her very best - I've been thinking about throwing a handful of seeds in a little-used area of my garden, and seeing this confirms that indeed I should! Thank you for sharing! Chrissie xxx

  6. Serious garden envy happening all up in here! There's just something about wildflower patches that make me daydream about all sorts of things. They take me back to when I was a teenager and I used to walk barefoot everywhere, because I was somewhere stuck between a punk and a hippie. Ugh, yours is really incredible.

  7. I love your wildflower border! If I had a garden I would have one too! It's true that bright sunshine does eat up the intensity of flower colours. It's often a useful tip to photograph them when they're in the shade when all the details are more apparent. I learnt this through trial and error!

    I see you're very handy with your crochet hook too and your choice of colours is so pretty. I love your phone case!
    Thanks for popping into my place! Sandra
