Next to roses, maybe Hydrangeas (Hortensia) is the most beautiful flower in the world. (As if it would be possible to choose)

A lot of pink going on in the garden right now. I ask myself how this could have happened since I don't consider pink one of my favourite colors. But actually, in the whole, it looks quite good.

I bought seeds of this brown Digitalis (Fingerborgsblomma) after reading in a magazine that it was a great company to my favourite rose, Ghislaine de Feligonde. This was three years ago and now they grow everywhere in the garden. I love it when plants choose their own places to grow. And I also love that I spent 20 swedish crowns ($2)and very little effort on this beautiful flower. There is so much joy in sowing perennials.

Happiness! I don't know where this lily came from but I am so happy to see it grow in my garden. I just found it by coincidence hidden as it was in the rambler/appletree djungle. My garden is 80 years old so maybe it has grown here earlier and just came to life again. I have been spreading seeds for some years but I have heard that it takes meny years for this Lilium martagon (Krollilja)to establish. I want a sea of these lilies under my apple trees. Please.

Hydrangea/Hortensia 'Annabelle'. I bought it earlier this summer and have planted it in a large willow basket. A red annual grass, a small Acer Japonica, and Bamboo 'Bimbo' in terracotta pots next to 'Annabelle'.

I didn't set a foot in my garden today. Stayed in bed all day. New obsession, crocheting. An old favourite, PD James. A crossword puzzle. A great day.

It's been raining for more than a week. Few of my roses are beautiful in heavy rain. Ilse Krohn Superior is an exception. Rain doesn't affect her at all. Otherwise a rather boring rose. No scent at all. The foliage dark green and glossy. A climber. White flowers with the slightest touch of yellow. Seems healthy but it's only her second year in my garden.
Some sun and much wind today. The laundry drying outside. Like it should be. In July.

We are building a garden shed. The color choices are overwhelming.

Some days the garden is a burden. Like today. The roses prime is already over. Too many of them look unhealthy and the secateurs is lost. I need to focus on very small areas to see the beauty in my garden. Like the leaves of the Virginia creeper or the petals of the brown Foxglove.

the best rose

This is the best rose in the world. Ghislaine de Feligonde. It's healthy, fast growing, beautiful and remontant. The buds are small and apricot/yellow and the flowers are white. The only thing to wish for is a more prominent scent.

This is Rosa Helenae 'Aksel Olsen'. We planted him four years ago and he grows like there is no tomorrow. The 70 years old apple-tree is totally overgrown and almost invisable behind this monster rambler. The flowers are delicate, small, almost chalk white and smell like clove.

weed

There is so much vegetation in my garden that i try to fight. I wouldn't bet me as the winner. I've been struggling today with the weed between the stones in our small green plantation.

memo: garden knee-pads may not be such a bad idea
