New paintings and regular art updates.
Double flowers, pretty but not good for bees, I have a lot more open flowers. Much better for insects. My garden is looking lovely.
Sometimes called petunias or Surfinias, these plants get covered in flowers in the summer. I think these flowers look like the dresses of Spanish dancers, skirts flying to the music of the Flamenco. So exuberant.
Oh I do like a good hanging basket. This is one from a couple of years ago, I think it was one I planted myself. The red flowers are pelargoniums although generally they are called geraniums. The purple ones are Petunias which are also called Surfinias. It’s interesting how names can be changed for fashion or trademark reasons.
We’ve had a little rain and the begonias and petunias have gone mad. The fushias have dried out a bit. I found out what a long, tall leafed plant was that hubby had planted a hanging basket… A purple Gladioli flower! Apples are also growing bigger and pears are starting to get bigger too!
