Flower of the Day – 11th January 2023
Eleven days in and it still feels strange typing 2023… I don’t know about you but the number of times I’ve had to had to correct dates so far this month, is astounding. It’s just like when you get married and change your name… that takes a fair bit of time to be able to…

Eryngium giganteum – Silver Ghost Thistle
It’s Monday morning again, and the start of a new week. I can’t believe we are on the 28th of November and it won’t be long before Christmas is here once again.

Floral Friday – FF#80 – White Flowers
There is just something about this image that just caught my eye… But I don’t really know why. Was it the abundance of the flowers? Could it be the neatness of the petals? All I know as soon as I saw this bunch of white flowers I had to take the shot. Camera Settings Camera:…

Great Comp Gardens
There are so many quirky areas within Great Comp Gardens, near Sevenoaks in Kent. One of those areas we walked through there was this beautiful path, surrounded by various plants and trees.

Lavender
I just love the smell of lavender, especially when you brush up against it, then it seems to emit a much stronger fragrance. Lavender Oil is good for helping you sleep and relieving stress. When we first moved into our house, there was a proper Old English Lavender Bush, and I used to collect the…

Fuchsia from Great Comp
When we moved into our house over 20 years ago, the previous owners had two ornate concrete urns which they had planted with fuchsias. They were so pretty, until our 9-month Tibetan Mastiff pup thought different. They were pruned beyond belief. Having moved from 50ft garden into over a 100ft garden he sure had ideas…

Pink Dahlia
What I love about dahlias is that they bloom all through the late summer and into fall. Dahlias come in many varieties, ranging from pom-pom dahlias to decorative dahlias. The photograph, below, was photographed at Great Comp Gardens, in one of their dahlia borders and the pink was so vibrant and the dark red centre…
