This beautiful rose was sent to mum last year for her 95th birthday, sadly it was her last, but she’d had a good long life & we were lucky to have her for so long.
I don’t know its name but obviously it’s now called ‘mums rose’ & will be a lovely reminder 🧡🌿

Garden Diary – Say hello, & sadly wave goodbye
As Monday dawned last week and we said hello to December, we didn’t realise that by the end of the week we’d be saying goodbye one of our elderly cats.

This was the first year that I’ve grown dwarf tulips & I was really pleased with them. They’re in pots so I’m hoping they come again.
This is a species variety, Tulipa humilis 'Persian Pearl' 🌿🩷🌿

All of you cat lovers will understand the sadness in our household, after saying goodbye to our almost 19 yr old cat yesterday.
The stronger the love, the stronger the pain! 😿

So, whilst counting down to the 21st (shortest day) let’s look back at the flowers of summer #flowersonfriday #lupins #flowers #bloom #bloomscrolling #summergarden

I prefer trees when they’ve lost their leaves, you can see their magnificent structure I also love churchyards, goes back to a childhood spent in three that were close to family houses 🪦 #thicktrunktuesday #trees

The gardeners mate & I made the most of a dry, sunny day yesterday to blitz the weeds 🌱☀️
The one raised bed had become so overwhelming with annual weeds, so it’s had the cardboard treatment, just need some compost to go on top now. Feeling on top of things😊#gardening #weeding #growyourown #homegrown

I grew these Eremurus - fox tail lilies, in a bed with grasses. Unfortunately they stopped coming up.
I’m just debating whether to buy some more for a new bed next year, they’re rather spectacular 🌿💛💛🌿 #SundayYellow #yellowflowers #bloomscrolling #eremurus
