The white roses match my hair colour!
I am, like many people I know, confused/worried about the forthcoming election and the coverage is endless on FaceBook, Twitter, the News…it cannot be escaped. I do take it all seriously, probably more now that I’m older, than at any other time in my life. But, today is June 1st, and a beautiful sunny day, so I took myself out into the garden, to clear my head and get away from the constant barrage of ‘party political verbal onslaughts’ and to clear the weeds, (some of them anyway) and tidy up. I’m proud of what we have achieved so far in our little patch of Dorset but there’s still plenty to do. I’m hoping that a reader will be able to identify a couple of plants for me. If you know what the two below are please post in the comments box.
Anyone know what the plant on the left is? And the one on the right, is this a chrysanthemum or a dahlia…or neither?
I’m loving the roses…look out Chelsea Flower Show 2018 (joke!)
Top left is a white climber…top right is ‘Queen of Sweden’ and the bottom is the prettiest rambling rose, it so belongs in our cottage garden…
Left, Antirrhinums (I think) and on the right the sweet peas are coming on well… no flowers yet but I’m hoping for a bumper crop!
Check out the lupins! My dad would be proud of me…
I’m tempted to say that after a whole morning in the garden I’m veering towards green…
well my dear – your hard work is paying off big time – and all done when that dreadful Man is out on his bicycle – disgraceful!
Love the hair and the smiling face – a proper English Rose I say …….
Beautiful garden and beautiful smile my dear! I’ve already seen your plants but I don’t know their name….
