slow days

Nothing much is happening right now,
no work in progress ...
no new projects started yet ...
Plans ?
Ohhh yes, plenty.

But for the time being
only the garden gets attention.
The plants that clearly finished flowering are cut down,
others, still blooming, might need a bit of support.
I love seeing the change of the seasons
in all the different flowers.


One of my late-summer favourites

is this Altea Cannabina,
over two meters high sometimes and looking like a thin fountain
with no leaves but lots of pink flowers.  (3 cm)
They self seed very easily
but need to be replanted when they're quite small
because they make a long pen root.

Another beauty

Anemone Japonica
(with a visitor)

For some funny reason the water next to our garden
is full of duckweed this year

Though ... "duckweed" ... ?
It seems the ducks, swans and grebes don't like it at all !

(It's hard to imagine that behind that weeping willow
is a four-storey apartment building ....)

  3. Liebe Els,
    Dein Garten sieht wirklich ganz zauberhaft aus, keine Rede von "Handtuch"!
    Und das Gewässer ist wie ein Dschungel!
    Liebe Grüße
