Between the Rains

Today it is a rainy day at last in Finland!

I took a few quick shots between the rains. We have many curved paths in the garden,

but in front of our garage there is a straight pavement plus straight long lower bed.

Something is blooming throughout the summer. At the moment Hemerocallis &

Veronicastrum virginicum. There are still some late bloomers to come.

This is some Aconitum. I suspect it is Aconitum lycoctonum subsp. neapolitanum.

I have got it in a plant swap and the good thing is that it needs no support

and spreads very well.

The Phlox are still mainly in bud.

To the right from the long flower bed there is a small patch of lawn & rose shrubs.

Because it is a sunny & dry spot this big Echinops sphaerocephalus / Great globe-thistle
grows there. Its height is from 150 cm till 200 cm!

Happy weekend. I hope you’ll get some refreshing rain as well.

At he moment my garden is more green than blooming. When we moved here, there were no plants, no hedges, no nothing, only lawn in a bad condition. My aim was to bring green and different shades & shapes of foliage, and that’s what I have now.

It was a lovely August day today, and I was out in the garden replanting for hours. I feel thankful for my health and for the fact that I still have muscle power to dig, dig and dig! I’m thankful for my husband also, who helped me to clear from weeds and unwanted plants one spot in the garden. It is ready for planting - think of bare virgin soil! and the planting is going to happen tomorrow!

I don’t know the name of this Veronica, but it is beautiful, pretty high

and stands straight without support.

Clematis integrifolia ’Petit Faucon’ has bloomed for weeks.

It needs support and its seedheads are very decorative.

This cream white Aconitum looks really beautiful against the dark-leaved ’Diabolo’.

Behind also a row of Rodgersia aesculifolia.

Was plant shopping for the autumn recently...

Still some solitary rose blooming among the reddening rose hips...
This is Rosa rugosa ’Rotes Meer’.

Although plastic, this pair of ducks looks cute swimming in my garden pond :)

Elokuun tunnelmia

Aconitum lycoctonum subsp.neapolitanum - Etelänukonhattu

Elokuu on alkanut ihanana. On satanut, mutta ei kaiken aikaa, välillä on paistanut aurinko ja lämmintä on riittänyt. Puutarhassa tunnelma alkaa olla loppukesää, tuoksukin on erilainen. Tämmöisiä näkyi kameran linssin läpi.

The first week of August has been wonderful. We have had rain but not all the time. In between beautiful sunshine and warm weather. The atmosphere in the garden starts to feel like late summe, even the scent is different. Through the lens I saw these.
