Lovely flowers and the moth is gorgeous. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gunilla, I get so excited when I get to see one of these wonderful moths.
ReplyDeleteYou have such lovely flowers in your garden. I love your photo's.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week
Thanks, Riet, I am enjoying all the flowers I started from seed this year, it was fun but a lot of work. I just spent the weekend at my nephew's wedding, it was fun and I took some photos of flower arrangements for next week's post.
DeleteBEautiful blooms!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura, and thanks for taking the time to host.
DeleteWonderful mix of colours in these lovely flowers. You seem to be growing a rainbow.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gemma, I'm really thrilled by the red Petunias. They are rather delicate and easily nipped off by rabbits though, so I'm glad to grow some in pots on my deck where they can be untouched.
DeleteThanks, Felicia, it is 2 acres so part looks like a park, the flowers are just in a few beds. But I've been working for years on getting a succession of flowers going.
ReplyDeleteNice shots the moth is kind of cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bruce, your insect macro shots are wonderful. I was surprised to find out how many different Tiger moths live here.
DeletePoor Man's Weatherglass--what a great name!
ReplyDeleteMy Blue Monday
Thanks, I've been watching them to see how they do, and it does seem to be true that they reflect the weather with their blossoms.
DeleteHello Hannah,
ReplyDeleteYour garden is growing nicely; blue blooms are so rare. Thanks for making Blue Monday special.
Have a Beautiful Blue Monday!
Thanks, Sally, I don't grow Delphiniums, they would help. The borage family has a lot. Thanks for hosting.
DeleteThanks, Freda!
ReplyDeleteFascinating Petunia exserta. Like a red parachute!
ReplyDeleteI love wax beans. May be go and have a look...
Thanks Villrose. I'm hoping the Petunia exserta gets big like the website claims. It's a rather delicate plant. My Gallica roses are done too.
DeleteHappy Blue Monday, Hannah!
ReplyDeleteAlways a treat to visit your garden :)
Thanks, Pernilla. Mexican restaurants down under! So funny,
DeleteYour garden grows beautifully! Love the pretty moth.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat, isn't it splendid! Your hummingbird with attitude is soooo cute!
DeleteOh thank you so much for sharing your beautys and the beautiful moth. That was a great capture. I really miss gardening. My father and his mother both had green houses. Although my grandmother called hers the 'hot house'. I loved going in and seeing her plants. Thank you for sharing yours. And thank you for coming by and seeing my Blue Quilts. I had a great time at the quilt show. You sweet comments have caused me to think about a post about quilting. It's been on my mind for awhile. Thanks for the inspiration. Have a wonderful week,

Exquisite flowers, great colors!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leovi, I always liket the colors in your compositions too.
DeleteWonderful photos of all this beautiful flowers and the little winged animal.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for all your comments on my blog.
Best regards, Synnöve
Thanks, Synnove, I liked your butterfly, and I adore hot springs!
DeleteI so enjoyed the tour through your garden. Beautiful flowers and the moth looked so big. My garden here in Texas is done. Heat and squash bugs prompted the pulling up of the squash. Tomatoes are still blooming....yay! Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteSue at CollectInTexas Gal
Thanks, Sue! It was a big moth, but I never get to see the orange underwings. I guess in Texas you have to garden most in spring and fall, those were my favorite seasons when I lived in Houston as a child. It's good your tomatoes are still going, do you grow okra? It likes heat.
DeleteYou lucky ducky obviously have plenty of water. In my dry climate even Kiwi fruit dies.
ReplyDeleteThat new petunia is a pretty star shape.

DeleteIf you don't have access to enough water to keep your Kiwi alive, that is sad indeed. I hope there are things that make living there special for you though. Israel has succeeded in reclaiming desert, so it can be done-

Very colorful flower arrangements.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christian, I like your bird photos and reflections.
DeleteThat red flower is stunning...and those yellow beans look so yummy. Hoping mine start sporting beans soon! Love fresh beans right from the garden.
ReplyDeleteThe yellow beans are great because they are earlier than all the other beans I grow and cold tolerant. Now I'm getting other beans too, and lots of cucumbers and squash. The Petunia exserta is a really intense red.
DeleteThat Petunia has a fascinating shape! I don't remember seeing a Petunia that red and that interesting before. I can see why the hummingbirds must like them, but they must have to dive in from the top? Must be fun to watch! That moth is pretty spectacular!
ReplyDeleteThe red Petunias have a very long neck, I can see why they are hummingbird flowers. I like the moth, I rarely get to see them.
Deletemy visitor was a tiny baby leopard tortoise!
ReplyDeleteHe's such a cutie! His shell looks hand-painted.
