An intuitive post... Some blue flowers in Tromso Botanical Gardens, earlier this summer. I find these colours so peaceful 💙

I lift my eyes up,
The wide world is above me,
Beauty looks back down.

A green caterpillar with white stripes rears its front half. It has small spikes on the back of each segment, and longer spikes on the neck area and near its back end.

Cabbage White Caterpillar (Pieride du Chou) on the Purple Toadflax today. The bees love this plant too. Are there any plants (sometimes considered weeds) that you let do their thing, as the bees/butterflies love them?

Some overgrown bamboo and me... Also, here's a limited edition handcrafted Macrame Planthanger in super strong cotton braid. The neutral tone works well with many decor schemes. For more info... amandatamsin.co.uk/handcrafted/...

Here's a Smoke Tree (Cotinus obovatus, I think). I've seen a couple of these spectacularly fluffy and delicate plants recently - this one in Bath Botanical Gardens.

It's amazing how plants affect mood in different ways, just from noticing them.

Two plants that I'm noticing at the sunny front of our home... The purple toned Pachyphytum is loving the warm, dry weather. Then there's Mesembryanthem Cordifolia, with its leaves loved by slugs and small, straggly flowers that you really have to look for.

I especially love this colour - too blue to be completely grey, yet subtle enough to work well with many decor schemes. A recent creation of mine, available at amandatamsin.co.uk/handcrafted/...
