Friday Bliss #196 - Alliums & Pink Aquilegias

Alliums and aquilegias are blooming in the garden and in my simple bouquet. 

In addition I’ll share some garden views.

The sunny lime shrub is Berberis thunbergii 'Aureum’ which gets greener

later in the summer. 

Beside our garden pond I have hostas & alliums & this clematis tower.

There are also peonies, still in bud.

Behind pink rhododenron ’Haaga’ that suffered from the draught of last summer.

Wishing you all a Happy & Sunny Summer Weekend - Don’t Forget to Relax, too!

Early This June Morning

Meconopsis betonicifolia - Sinivaleunikko

Our topic this week is June. So I went out at 5 o'clock and photographed some glimpses 

in the morning sun - which by the way is a bit challenging.

This is what I got! The warm weather has made many plants to bloom.
The early bird catches the worm - in this case photos :)

Makrotexin aiheena on kesäkuu.

Tässä muutamia kurkistuksia kello 5.00 tänä aamuna.

Aikainen lintu kuvan nappaa :)

Probably: Geranium himalyense - Idänkurjenpolvi 

Rosa spinosissima - Juhannusruusu

Meconopsis cambrica - Keltavaleunikko

Humulus lupulus 'Aureus' - Kultahumala

Rosa Pimpinellifolia 'Poppius' - Suviruusu

Maybe this delighted me the most! - Ehkä tämä ilahdutti eniten!

Wishing you a flower rich day! - Kukkaisaa päivää!

All in Purple

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.

Pretty in Pink

This week we have had truly lovely sunny summer days.
The week is totally in pink for lilacs and rhododendrons are in bloom.
Also the first aquilegias started to bloom - in pink of course!

Mikkeli - St. Michel - very hardy in our climate.
The buds are bright pink, turning to pale when they open.

Ihanista kesäpäivistä on saanut nauttia tällä viikolla.
Viikko on ollutkin ihan pinkkiä, sillä alppiruusut ja syreenit kukkivat.
Myös ensimmäiset akileijat avasivat kukkansa - pinkkiä nekin tottakai!

Haaga - very hardy too

Syringa vulgaris - Pihasyreeni

Kukkailottelua

Gartenglück - my garden blooms a bit later than yours in Germany.
So a bit repetition for you :)

Ihanaa viikonloppua! - Happy weekend!

Floral Bliss #11

Aquilegias are one of my favourites, so delicate, like butterflies.
