My old Rhododendron 'Roseum elegans' is starting to bloom.
A broadleaf evergreen shrub, Rhododendron Roseum Elegans makes a great selection
for those moist, shaded locations. It has large leaves in hues of dark green and
large clusters of flowers that bloom lilac-pink, opening in May and are hard to beat!

So are Allium 'Purple Sensation'...
Then I found this tiny aquilegia seedling, in purple too.
Also Osteospermums are starting to bloom...
Wishing you a colourful new week to come!
And wishing you a Happy Midsummer with this
white Midsummer rose - Rosa spinosissima.
A wonderful purple selection. That rhododendron is perfect. Looks like you're enjoying your garden again. B x
VastaaPoistaIt's color is pretty, not blooming very abundantly, I should fertilise it a bit. Happy Sunday Barbara ❤︎

Thank you so much Monika for your lovely words ❤︎ Happy Sunday to you too!
PoistaEinfach wunder-, wunderschön, liebe Riitta! Ich liebe es Ton-in-Ton bei Blumensträußen. Im Garten ist es mir noch nicht gelungen. Ich habe auch den Rhododendron 'Roseum elegans'. Bei mir blüht der nicht in so kräftiger Farbe. Es sind sowieso tolle Fotos. Und die Aquilegia ist auch wunderschön. Bloß nicht die Samen wegwerfen, sondern schön aussäen.
VastaaPoistaAll in purple is so wonderful!!!
Have a nice week
Edith
Thank you Edith :) Well, there are also some other colors blooming now, mainly whites and blues like the Finnish flag. I spared them for the next Floral Bliss - for it is Midsummer Week coming.

VastaaPoistaSuch beautiful blooms all sharing that vivid colour purple! Your garden must be looking fabulous right now. Happy Mosaic Monday.
VastaaPoistaWe have moved to an environment that is too dry to support rhododendrons, and I am missing them. Thanks for bringing this beauty to all of us and some happy memories to me.
