Garden Bloggers Bloom Day - July 2012

Osteospermum
I bought one small pot with about three flowers on a few years ago and put it in a sunny spot.  I have divided it and stuck bits in empty gaps all over the place and it has taken every time ... a very obliging little plant!

Dianthus
 This is one of the smallest flowers in the garden.  Grown from a free packet of seeds it is also one of the cheapest!
One of my favourite flowers at the moment is the larger version ... Sweet William.

I seem to have a pink theme going on here as my next photo is a pink Sweetpea.
Followed by a pink Primula vialii.
How strange!  I could have photographed yellow roses or blue cornflowers or cream Achillea but everything I snapped was pink!  I wonder what that says about my mood today.
Well, I will end with a red blob!  No idea what it is called.  I lost the seed packet.  I'm not sure I like it ... it looks like it hasn't grown any petals!

  1. Oh, how pretty - and I do like your blob. I wonder what it is?

    (Found you through GBBD, by the way - what a good idea that is)

    1. Hello, thanks for visiting. GBBD is a good idea - I have visited lots of lovely gardens through that link on rainy days (and we have had LOTS of those in the last couple of months!).
