I was standing at the kitchen sink wondering what to put in a vase today and saw these 3 right in front of me on my windowsill – odd bits and pieces, picked up at various times as I wander round the garden and a cutting from a succulent house plant.
On the left, in a Chive vase, is a perennial white wallflower, grown from seed harvested from a friend’s garden. The scent at dusk is divine.
My sister and I were amazed and delighted to be photographed for the Chelsea Flower show magazine and website when we were on the Chive Stand in 2016
I didn’t take the name of the photographer, so I can’t credit her, but she took the photo because our colours matched the stand. 🙂
Oh, that was such a special day. A day on which I was so excited to meet Dorris!
The feather is from the guinea fowl who often visit from a neighbour across the field.
One on my roof one frosty morning in March
Strange creatures! Making strange noises ……..
and there is a pigeon nesting in my bay tree, constantly cooing all day
Sparrows are nesting in the cotoneaster and under the tiles on my garage roof, twiitering away …….
I have had to get the tinsel out to stop them from eating my salad leaves
April and May are my favourite months in garden
It is all very sensual and sexy out there!
This year I am missing the Brompton Stocks and wallflowers which provided so much colour last year, but my new long border (see the the beginnings of it here) still gives me huge amounts of pleasure as it wakes up in the warmer weather.
