in pink as roses, in blue as geraniums, in yellow as hemerocallis...

Nautitaan kesästä säästä huolimatta! - Let's enjoy the summer in spite of the weather!
There is something so special about flowers In the rain. Yours are beautiful. Hopefully sunshine soon. B x
VastaaPoistaThis summer is really odd Barbara. Heavy wind and rain, but in between some sun too....
PoistaYour raindrop-photos, dear Riitta, are so beautiful! Very nice!
VastaaPoistaAnd the Meconopsis is a blue dream! I never saw a whtie Centauria, wonderful!
Why don't you want to hear the name of your geranium??? I think it's growing in my garden, too.
Regards
Edith
I was not sure of the name Edith :) It probably is Geranium x magnificum? I know I have 'Rozanne' somewhere too... I have changed so many plants in plant exchange happenings that I'm quite lost! And also replanted them around the garden...
PoistaThe white Centurea montana is very beautiful, I have a light purple version too...
Have a nice evening Edith!
I think your geranium is 'magnificum'. It's not 'Rozanne'.
PoistaEdith
so many gorgous flowers. Raindrops ads to the beuty. :)
VastaaPoistaI thank you from the bottom of my heart for your stunning shots, your flowers are truly breathtaking, dearest Riitta !

Kuinka hurmaavia kuvia jälleen kerran :)
VastaaPoistaRiitta,
VastaaPoistaFlowers drizzled in the rain are beautiful.
I am enthralled with blue poppies (Meconopsis betonicifolia).
Unfortunately, I do not have it in my garden.
Riitta, your photos are always perfect.
Greetings.

All of your flowers are so beautiful, love the drops of rain.
VastaaPoistaHello Riitta, such sumptuous roses from your beautiful garden... they must give out such gorgeous perfume :D)
VastaaPoistaAll the colours you have there are incredible and it never ceases to amaze me just how much is blooming in your garden at the one time! The raindrops add a special touch to their loveliness too.
Really lovely photos indeed, so calming and colourful. Warm greetings to you!
VastaaPoistaWe've been having light rain showers again and the raindrops do add something extra special to a photo of a flower in bloom. It's pleasing to see plants that you've raised from young flower for the first time. Thank you for hosting Floral Bliss. Wishing you a good week.

VastaaPoistaYour flowers are beautiful. Loving your white centaurea montana. I'm forever thinning out my blue ones!
VastaaPoistaYour pond is so inviting with the pebbles leading us into the water. My frogs would love it.
Raindrops bring out the best in flowers as well as giving them a much needed drink.
Thank you Riitta for hosting Floral Bliss.

VastaaPoistaCongratulations!
Your work is magnificent, and informative as well! I did not know that the white perennial bachelor button was not as agressive. Good to know.
VastaaPoistaBeautiful pictures!

Liebe Riitta,
VastaaPoistaganz wunderschöne Blütenbilder hast Du in Deinem Post eingestellt! Es ist eine Freude sie zu betrachten!
Wie sieht es eigentliche bei Euch mit den bestäubenden Fluginsekten wie Bienen, Wildbienen, Hummeln und anderen aus? Müsst Ihr auch feststellen, dass sie wesentliche weniger werden? Fürchtet Ihr auch um die Bestäubung Eures Obstes, Eures Gemüses und Eurer Feldfrüchte?
Für eine Antwort von Dir wäre ich auf meinem Blog unter diesem Post/ diesem Link

Ja Heidi, die Bienchen und Co sind jeder Sommer weniger geworden. Und leider die Schmetterlinge auch.
PoistaLiebe Grüsse, riitta
