Lo Jardinièr’s blog, An entangled bank, celebrates its first birthday today. Do go over and see what he’s doing, and I think their are some party presents too. Lo Jardinièr is the wild flower expert so I thought I’d give him a bunch of flowers from the garden, cultivated rather than wild, today:
climbing Banksiae rose
another climbing rose nearby on the shelter where we eat in the garden
a Salvia that’s almost too bright for the camera
Californian poppy
Coronella
Geranium
Cistus
and a wild one on the path to the garden, a flower that was open for just a few hours,
wild salsify, Tragopogon porrifolius
Many happy returns to the entangled bank!

Beautiful and that last picture is particularly good 🙂
Thank you for the memories: in my case whole banks of banksias, so thrilling en masse . . . lovely photos . . .
A wonderful collection of flowers. Your garden must be beautiful.
Your garden’s looking wonderful. We only thought of planting Californian poppies last year – they seem to have reseeded themselves and are coming up everywhere, which is a good result. Skies are looking beautiful.
