garden again

Today there wasn't too much sun

so I had to do a long postponed job :

this box-tree was badly in need of a haircut ...

... and so was the other one.

I usually do it a bit earlier in the season when all the surrounding plants

are not yet thát high, but the sunny weather prevented it.

So today was a good day for that haircut !

You see ? Els Scissorhand was here !

( I added another layer as well )

In my (small) garden certain colours are "forbidden" :

bright poppy-red, orange and bright yellow.

I go more for all the blues, purples, dark reds, magenta and pinks,

white and a bit of mild buttery yellow.

like this .... !

So what came over me buying this Cosmos ????

( it didn't have a flower than ! )

very  orange  I would say ....

 but I love it !

hummm ... and I hope to get some seeds for next year.
