I think you were right just to focus on the beauty and positivity of flowers. I don't bother to tune in to the news much anymore (except the Space X rocket launch. Now that was really something). Your garden looks gorgeous. Can't believe you have dahlias blooming already.
Hello dear Hoover Boo, You are so right the best place to get peacefull feelings is the garden!!! And you have so many beautiful plants it must make you very happy!! Have a wonderful day, afternoon, ore sweet dreams Rosehugs Marijke
Thanks for that! The news is heart-wrenching. There are protests scheduled locally here (which is a major anomaly) and the Sheriff's Department seems to be taking a responsible position in standing back so I hope they remain peaceful. If it wasn't for fear of infection and violence, I might be participating.
Absolutely perfect! A bit of peace in a riot of color whispering hope. I especially like the fuschia peeking out of the hydrangea, like it is looking to see if the coast is clear, whispering hope.
And what a garden yours is!!! I needed your garden today. Here in Phoenix with 110º heat your gorgeous scenes are such a welcome relief! Thank you so much!
Triteleia laxa 'Queen Fabiola', bulb native to northern California but grows great here in SoCal as well. My clump of it has been growing for 20 years undisturbed, and flowers every May into June.

Yay! Your flowers especially the day lily and cuphea, have certainly put on a happy face brightening up the day's gloomy news. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteIt was all I could think of.
DeleteI could not agree more. Lovely blooms - they bring hope.
ReplyDeleteYes they do. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteI watched the SpaceX launch. I lived the first part of my life about a mile from the SpaceX HQ in Hawthorne, so they are like locals to me.
DeleteThat one Dahlia which is 'Tahitian Sunrise', got going much faster than all the others. Why I don't know. Most are just waking up and emerging.

Thanks you kind lady. Beautiful roses back to you!
DeleteThank you for this post. Your photos are exactly what I needed to see. The news is too horrible to comprehend right now.
ReplyDeleteWorse and worse it seems to get. What seemed strong is full of cracks.

ReplyDeleteThis country's problems seem self-inflicted. Nothing handled with anything like wisdom and reason.

ReplyDeleteHappy you liked the pictures. 110F in the VOTS, already? Yikes. Take care!
DeleteYour new plants, and pictures I have seen of reconciliation, bring hope for the future.
