Just a little break from sugar flowers to show you the real flowers that are blooming in my garden right now, and my font of inspiration for many more sugar flowers to come.
My 'style' of gardening is not what most people here would consider 'gardening': basically it is keeping the flowers at the edges of the bush that surrounds the house, and clearing the rest of the bush from noxious weeds: no lawn, no pretty edges, nothing remotely 'English" about it, more like "untouched tropical jungle' in fact. So it looks like I never work in it, but it takes a long time making it look like this. The best thing is that the weather, warm and wet, means that you don't need a green thumb to grow things :-).
White and red Camelias, fuschia and light pink rhododendrons, orange Clivia e white azalea... I had a gardenia but the bush took over... I need to clean a few weeds to see if it is still alive somewhere! I love gardenias' fragrance!
Che bei fiori Alessandra....poi io ho un pollice veramente nero......ora sto provando con le piante grasse...vediamo se uccido anche quelle!!!
ReplyDeleteUh, per me le piante grasse sono difficili invece! Ma qui e' troppo umido :-)
ReplyDeleteAlessandra ma che belli questi fiori!!!!! così colorati sono davvero una fonte di ispirazione! buona settimana

ReplyDeleteSe non avessi qualcuno a curare il giardino probabilmente resisterebbe solo il cactus!
