I seem to have led you on a merry dance, chronologically speaking, in the last few posts and now we'll complete the circle by seeing the rest of the photos from the Blooms' garden at Bressingham.
And this last photo is for my many cousins who read this blog, some of whom will remember our own dear Aunt May. Its understated beauty seems to recall my aunt's quiet, kind ways.
Take care
How beautiful. I am sure that your Aunt May would appreciate your tribute to her.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful variety of flowers and what a capture on the damefly
ReplyDeleteI see what I think is Hardy geraniums in a couple of your pictures- I love them - if they like you they seed freely and flower all summer if you keep cutting off the dead heads. I read an article by I think Claire Austin, who said that if you have herbaceous borders the plants are never going to all flower at the same time so you always have to think of the leaf formations when you think of what to put where. Good advice and definitely followed by Blooms in your photos
ReplyDeleteI think that “merry” is the key word, John, when speaking of the dance you have led us on. It has been merry indeed and we have been willing participants.
ReplyDeleteHi John - stunning photos of a beautiful garden and its blooms ... that picea omorika pendula bruns' - is quite extraordinary isn't it - but so appropriate in the circumstances. Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteYou have given us such a great variety of photos here. You sure are talented, John. These are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I've tried a couple of times to grow Sisyrinchium here but it doesn't like our soil. Lovely to see the damselfly, not seen many around this year:)
ReplyDeleteThey should hire you as their photographer. You do such a nice job of featruinng their blooms.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful walk you had there. I love seeing that damselfly on the leaf. Reminds me that we haven't seen any damselflies here yet. The way that spruce tree is leaning made me think of the plumes left behind by a spaceship as it makes its way out into the universe...much like the spirit of their dearly loved one.
ReplyDeleteLarge variety of colorful plants here. this would be an interesting tour.
ReplyDeleteThat last photo really touched me, John. I never got to meet her, so only knew her through Mom's letters and conversations.
ReplyDeleteBeauty for the eyes, John.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place! Your photos captured its glory. Loved the dragonfly pic.
ReplyDeleteMe gusta los detalles que has captado. Muy bellas fotografÃas.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo
A lovely post of such a beautiful garden, John.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful garden!
ReplyDeleteA lovely colourful yet peaceful garden.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful garden.
ReplyDeleteSuch an awesome garden and your photos are beautiful John.
ReplyDeleteI too had an Auntie May - one of twin girls, Edith was the other, my mother Gladys' younger sisters. There was also an older sister named Madge, and mother's twin brother Edward - my amazing grandmother's five children in four years!!!! Just typing the rather old-fashioned names here brings back so many memories of my English childhood, and especially visiting lovely gardens with my family members.
Enjoy your weekend John - viewing more gardens/countryside perhaps?
Mary -
These are beautiful!
