ROASTING COLD

 

The EU says that last month was the hottest on record then the BBC weather lady said that the weather will continue sun autumnal fashion!

So to cheer me up here are some roses.




Let us go down to the pond, a point of disagreement. R wants nice sky reflections in the water. I want a wild natural habitat. So I put up an image looking back from the pond past the strimmed banking.
Around the pond are mimulus, loosestrife and candelabra primulas - but all yellow.



And also a pink spirea and a wild one - the meadow sweet. R does not like the pink. Then there is the gunnera thriving by the hedge,


Of course other things are doing well like the campanula hidden in the weeds.


Just looked out and it is pouring down AGAIN!

Sometimes there comes a combination which surprises me. Here is my small dwarf white lavender infiltrated with the weed herb robert. But I rather like the colour combination.


And so to a pic of the wisteria we were given and we were sure it was moribund and flowers on our small eucryophia - first for a few years.

It is thundering now, time for a second helping of yesterday's egg curry.

Just looked on my Flickr photo site and here is the most visited image!
