Anyway, I've made these images larger than the normal upload size - hope you like 'em this way.
A close up of the Lilac's very pretty, waxy flowers.
I'm not exactly sure what this 'tree' is.. I bought it from Wilko's around six years ago as a sad looking little branch (I'm a sucker for poorly plants!). I nurtured it and it repays me each year with an abundance of these fantastic, blue little flowers - and the little birdies love it too! It's now around six foot tall and makes the garden look so summery!
Another of my strange little favourite plants - the humble Dandelion flower! Don't ask why I like them, I just do - I suppose it reminds me of my childhood playing with dandelion clocks in the woods with my sister and grandma! Oh, those were the days - remember them Jules?
Well, that's my photo update for now.. Hope you like!
Yeh I remember, and then having to sit half an hour while Granma picked the "fairies" out of our hair and being told not to pick them because we would end up wee-ing the bed...and we believed her too lol. The blue flower looks like the one Ive got down my garden, Ill look it up n let you know, the names on the tip of my tongue grrr. xxx
ReplyDeleteCeonothus, I think Ive spelt it wrong though lol. xx
ReplyDeletelove your photo's jo. I like the blue on, but i have no idea what it is :)
ReplyDeleteWOW your Lilac bush is stunning, I love them. The smell and colours are great. None of my bushes and flowers are out yet. Think it is the Scottish weather. Too cold!!
ReplyDeleteRemember playing clocks with the dandelions.?? You blow the seeds to count the time. Oh joy.
