Pic Scam ... Again!

[debris4spike]

I have been out and about in Mum's garden when I got here this afternoon.  Had fun, but it meant I was too tired to get to Band practice tonight.  Oh well - I am feeling better, and it means you can have a look at some more flowers.

Mum always has quite a few of these - they are so stunning in colour, aren't they?


My favourite type of Dahlia.








Sadly it is a bit too dark to show the bee easily - there were 2 on the same flower as I went to take the picture, obviously the other one was camera-shy.


I just love English Runner Beans.


My weekly contribution to the gardening ... and my favourite time, when I have finished!

Lovely garden and lovely photos. It's so odd to see pansies in August, our pansies are dead from the heat.

This is one of the many things i love about my friends on LJ - seeing the various differences that we all live in. I just wish I was more gree-fingered.

Gorgeous flowers! I love the dahlia, too.

I wish I was more green-fingered myself.

I love marigolds. (That's the top one.) And I recognize the rest of the flowers as well. Very lovely. :) Balm to the soul and all that. :)

I have to agree with you about the being finished mowing being the best part of gardening. *grin*

I am hopeless with names- Mum would shoot me, as she does know what they are called - I just love looking at them - as you so rightly say, very peaceful.

Your mum's garden is gorgeous! I love dahlias, too.

It is great isn't it - I wish I was more green-fingered.

Beautiful pictures. Your camera gets in close for individual blossoms. [My favorite kind of hydrangea, too]

My pansies also died in July with the heat and dahlias don't bloom until September. You must have some micro-climate!

Yes, Where Mum and Dad live is called the English Riviera! Although today it is raining and we have force 5 winds blowing!!!

I'm not a great gardener, but Mum is good, and the overall claimate does work for her.

I really want a garden

Mum's garden is amazing - I have my own garden, but I won't be posting of that... LOL

Love all the flower pics (I used to take a few of those..).
That Dahlia is gorgeous!!!

Well I am still having fun playing with my camera - and mum is so green-fingered, it is great to share.

Thanks.

Beautiful pics :)
This evening it got very cold already (16°) even if it was warm today. I hope we'll have some more warm summer days and can enjoy the flowers.

The weather is certainly weird - I think my Australian f-listers are having better weather than we are here in Eurpope.

The flowers are lovely! \o/

Thanks - Wish I could claim credit - Mum truly has green-fingers!

I am still having fun playing with the camera!

[debris4spike]

Thanks.
