Early summer flowers






This is of course the best time of year for flowers; especially here in the south coast. These flowers self seed and seem to love the coastal climate. They are mostly pink but also in a more of a cerise colour and white. I think they are red Valerian, a perennial native to Europe and the Mediterranean, but now a garden escapee! It certainly grows like a weed but is quite pretty and the bees and butterflies love it!




However, in my garden and the moment the colour of the moment is yellow! My roses are a lovely delicate scent and the yellow irises are doing well!

Be more dog

I'm always grateful that we have our dogs. We had never been dog owners up until our move but it had been something that we both wanted ...
