Hydrangeas..I love them so much! I want more hydrangeas in my life/garden
The first Agapanthus of the year
Fuchsias are blooming
Not many roses lately.. heat takes a toll on them... on contrary hibiscus love the heat
Mirabilis Jalapa.. cute but very invasive!
The lotus are almost there...
See you next time!
I can sympathize, MDN - our summers are brutal too, although not quite as hot and definitely not wet. I'd love to grow water lilies but, with water in increasingly short supply here, I just can't justify it. That blue star lily is phenomenal!
ResponderEliminarKris, the water lilies and lotus are the best thing about summer here, I'll focus on them to survive this dreadful season.
EliminarYour water lilies are exquisite especially that first one. Would love to see a photo of your entire pond; is it quite large? Must be, for all those lilies.
ResponderEliminarI feel the same way about summer...good thing there is more than one season!
Water lilies are wonderful plants, I love them madly! My pond isn't really a pond but a fiberglass swiming pool(6 x 3 x 1.50 m) that feel into disuse and I decided to put fish in it and then water lilies. Wish you a merry christmas and happy new year!
Eliminar♥ Your water lilies are gorgeous, as are your hydrangeas and hibiscuses. The summer there sounds indeed ruthless, but you have very many spectacular plants that thrive nevertheless. ♥ Now I wish you and yours a wonderful Christmas! ♥
ResponderEliminarDear Sara, summer is a dreadful time to me I'll feel depleted and drained of energy till autumn comes to replenish me, I am counting days to it. Meanwhile I will concentrate in my water lilies my favorite summer plants.
EliminarTienes unas flores preciosas, los nenúfares me encantan, las rosas se ven lindas. Besitos y feliz navidad.
ResponderEliminarTeresa muchas gracias por tu visita! Los nenúfares son plantas maravillosas y afortunadamente se dan muy bien en mi clima, las rosas no tanto! Te deseo una muy feliz navidad!
EliminarDear Mdn!
ResponderEliminarLovely pictures of summery flowers, I always feel warmth watching them :-)
May you and your loved ones have a merry Christmas and a healthy and happy 2018!
Thanks dear Nadezda! Wish you a merry christmas and a wonderful new year!
EliminarOh, so many of my favourite flowers! Water lilies are high on my wish list - I just need to sort out a pond first but eventually I will have one, a small one :-)
ResponderEliminarApart from that we have many plants in common even though we live on opposite side of the world!
Helene, water lilies are fantastic plants, to say they are gorgeous is an understatement! I began with one little yellow lily and now have more than 20.. water lilies can become an addiction! Wish you a merry christmas and happy new year!
EliminarPreciosas flores y preciosas fotos MDN. Espero y deseo que a pesar de todo disfrutes de un maravilloso verano. Un beso.
ResponderEliminarLola, gracias por tu visita! El verano es la estación que menos me gusta pero tendré que ser paciente! ya pasará! te deseo un muy Feliz año nuevo!
EliminarPreciosas flores y preciosos nenúfares MDN, al igual que el estanque y los peces. Aunque no puedo leerte me sirven de mucho las imágenes.
ResponderEliminarHe intentado ver si podía seguirte pero no tienes puesto el botón de seguir, te todas formas me conectaré siempre que pueda por si tienes alguna nueva publicación.
Un fuerte abrazo
