Pääskysen väreissä - Swallow Colors

For a change not so many flowers but I'll show you my pet & animal LOVE ❤︎

Tällä viikolla värit löytyvät pääskysen siivensulista. - This week's colours are inspired by swallows.

Last year my son's Bernese Mountain Dog Coconut got puppies - they were so cute!
They were altogether 10 - one sweeter than the other - here my post Puppy Happiness ❤︎

Garden Week Mostly in Purple

This week has been characterized by strong wind and chilly weather.

After the hot & sunny May we are back to normal :)

The DRAUGHT is severe and many plants suffer despite of watering.

Rhododendron Catawbiense 'Roseum Elegans' or 'Grandiflorum'

I have only two rhododendrons and they are really sad looking in this draught.

Some blooms anyhow, this puple is Catawbiense 'Roseum Elegans' or 'Grandiflorum'.

The shrub is big and old, I do hope it survives.

Cornus alba 'Gouchhaultii' - Keltakirjokanukka

I have blue & dark purple pansies in five containers together with lime mummularia...

Somehow alliums are far less and smaller than last year, and also many aquilegias seem to have disappeared.

My post in 2017 of alliums & this rhododendron

Meconopsis cambrica - Keltavaleunikko / Hemerocallis - Keltapäivänlilja

Plantago media - Soikkoratamo

Plantago media is a fun plant that I like very much. It self sows eagerly in odd places...

But despite the weather I have found this and that to do in my outdoor gym.

Soon I'll be super fit!

Me and Sissi wish you a relaxing weekend!

My husband bought himself new running shoes and Sissi loves the cardboard box ❤︎

For this week's Floral Bliss I made a quick fantasy bouquet in contrasting colors - yellow and purple. I used a few Hemerocallis, Allium & Rhododendron 'Catawbiense Grandiflorum'. As greens Stachys byzantina. It was a bit too sunny on my terrace, and the background is not the best possible.

Tein iloksenne korkean kimpun kontrastiväreissä - keltaista & violettia: puistoalppiruusua 'Catawbiense Grandiflorum', alliumeja, keltapäivänliljaa ja nukkapähkämöä. Aurinkoista oli tänäänkin terassilla!
