Floral Friday – FF#85 – Lily
Whilst strolling around Wakehurst Place in West Sussex, back in 2015, we came across a beautiful lily. The Himalayan lily. What inspired me about this particular lily was the deep, intensive colour of the centre of the lily which consists of a deep maroon. This was framed by delicate, soft white petals and green, upright…

Flower of the Day 23rd February 2023- Rapeseed
During one of our outings many moons ago… we stopped in a country lane on our way home from Dover to admire the beautiful rapeseed fields. I’ve mentioned in the past that as you drive over the Medway Bridge there are rapeseed fields in abundance but unfortunately you can’t stop to take a photo or…

Flower of the Day – 22nd February, 2023
“The many varieties and wonderful colors of the modern dahlia make it a totally different flower from the one our grandmothers knew. … My father loved his dahlias, and I do too. And can remember as a child, them being the home of many an earwig. And as my school socks were on the radiator…

In the Garden #13- Dahlia
Sorry I’ve not posted much on this challenge… but the last 4 months have just gone from one thing to another. First that nasty virus, and then the loss of my mother-in-law. And if that wasn’t to hit our family, one of my friends, fell badly and was put on a machine, which was turned…

Flower of the Day – 26th January 2023
I can honestly say, restricting my blogging down to 3 days a week has really helped with my arthritis in my hands. And I’ve got some of the jobs I want to do finally finished. Every January I have a multi clear-out. You know the type, cupboards, drawers, wardrobe and whatever else I find that…

Floral Friday – FF#83 – Rosebuds
You don’t have to photograph just the front of the flower, sometimes the rear of a flower has hidden gems, like the rosebuds in the following image.

Not far from us in Harlip, it the agricultural college. Within the grounds of the garden centre is Broadview Gardens, located at the back of the garden centre and those gardens are spectacular.

Flower of the Day – 17th January 2023
Oh Boy!! Was it cold today on the station run! It was -5°C when I got into the car and left and stayed that exact temperature all the way there and back. I don’t mind frosty mornings but -5°C is beyond a joke… To me that is stay in bed weather until the temperature gets…

Floral Friday – FF#82 – Crocuses
One thing I love about spring is that spring is the start of the flowering season. Yes, there are shrubs that bloom in winter. However, when you start to see spring flowers, you know that the weather is hopefully getting warmer, and the sun is going to shine longer. Crocuses, you just can’t beat a…

Flower of the Day – 12th January 2023 – Rhododendron
I just can’t believe that this photograph was taken nearly 8 years ago at Doddington Place near Sittingbourne in Kent. I love rhododendron flowers, but there is something about them, maybe it’s their variety of colours, or could it be how big the bush/shrub has grown. To be honest, I not sure. However, one thing…
