Dahlia
Despite the torrid heat during this month of July.
the flowers on my balcony garden have done pretty well.
There are so many of them that it's difficult to know where to start.
Pretty in Pink
Fresh yellow
A tiny red rose which was part of the Mother's Day plant arrangement
sent to me by my son this year.
Hydrangea
Tiny Asters
Blue Campanula
and white too.
Geraniums: pale pink
and darker ones too.
Phlox in different shades
Here is a collage of the many different kinds of flowers in my window boxes and big pots this year
My flowers are my biggest joy in the summer months
and I eat all my meals outside
surrounded by their wonderful colours.
My herb garden is doing well too:
A Rosemary tree
A big plant of Basil which I use a lot
Lemon Verbena for herb teas
and mint.
I have run out of chives and must get a new plant!
