Dried Flowers
Posted on July 5, 2023
I’m no expert on gardening of any kind and I’m especially useless at remembering the names of flowers (unless they’re roses or daffodils), so I don’t know what this is called. It flowered in the spring and now the petals have dried into this interesting form.
Fieldbriar
Posted on June 9, 2023
We have this white rose growing in one of our raised beds. Until now, I had believed it was an eglantine – a very ancient variety. However, I now understand that this is actually a fieldbriar because it’s white. Eglantines (also known as sweet briar) tend to be pink. Either way, it’s lovely.
Imperial Purple
Posted on May 11, 2023
The topic for Cee’s Midweek Challenge this week is ‘Imperial Purple’. I really don’t suit a toga so I thought this could prove to be something of a problem.
However, I remembered that at the Fête des Fleurs In Magnac-Laval last month I had seen this rather striking purple flower.

A World Of pink
Posted on April 5, 2023
The theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is certainly a broad one: ‘found in nature’. It’s almost harder to find something that isn’t.
October’s Last Photo
Posted on November 1, 2022
Autumn is now well advanced, but this borage has appeared only recently. We have seen a few in the past couple of years, all emanating from a bag of mixed wildflower seeds that were sewn in, and until now confined to, raised flower beds, but this one obviously jumped over the side and managed to make its escape.

I don’t know what these flowers are called, but I’d certainly say that the petals are tinged with magenta.
Hydrangea – A closer View
Posted on August 5, 2022
It’s macro week in Cee’s midweek challenge, so let’s take a closer look at the hydrangea from my previous post.
Hydrangea
Posted on August 4, 2022
The theme for the Fun Foto Challenge this week is something that reminds us of nature’s beauty.
I seem to recall from my distant days as a Philosophy undergraduate that there is quite some debate as to whether ‘beauty’ exists anywhere other than the eye of the beholder. However, it’s hard to argue against the view that this hydrangea – a recent addition to our garden- fits the bill on this occasion.
