There is a volunteer tomato plant growing in my wildflower garden. I've never grown tomatoes in that space. I'm letting it stay. Maybe it will be productive, but it will have to outcompete the nearby purple coneflowers that are reaching maturation. (photo attached)

The photo is focused on a young tomato plant that is surrounded by a dense array of wildflowers in various stages of maturity. The first to bloom are Sweet Williams that are visible behind the tomato plant. There are light pink, dark pink, and white varieties of Sweet Williams.

One of the few happy memories of my mother's garden was a wall of sweet peas. I grew up being the laborer that kept her garden humming and food on the table. In all fairness my parents were raised knowing that if they didn't work to generate food they would go hungry. They raised me the same way.
I learned to hunt, fish and grow my own food. Surf fishing and hanging on to my dad's leg to keep the tide from washing me away is my earliest memory. I also gained gardening skills that have served me well.
I grew a wall of sweet peas for my kids when they were growing up, but didn't make them responsible for putting food on the table. Times had changed and I was a gentler parent.
This year for the first time in probably forty years I planted a wall of sweet peas.
This is the first blossom and the fragrance is just like I remembered.
Now I am old.
A full circle.

Poppy Pod

#BloomScrolling #Nature #Photography

A top-down, view of a poppy seed pod. The pod is a soft, muted green, somewhat spherical but flattened at the top where the stigma disk is prominently featured.

The stigma disk is the most striking element, forming a star-like pattern with twelve radiating segments or rays. These segments are a warm golden-brown color, with darker, reddish-brown lines running down their centers, creating a strong contrast against the lighter parts.

The background is softly blurred, providing a shallow depth of field that keeps the focus entirely on the poppy pod. The colors in the background are mostly muted greens and browns.

Why, hello there!

#BloomScrolling #Cactus

A tiny cactus “thumb” leaning at an angle against a very soft bokeh. The cactus has two teeny pink flowers with yellow centers that look like eyes, and a pointy flower bud between them that looks like a nose. It’s impossible not to see a face. The whole feeling is whimsical.

Finally got around to visiting the gardens of my local National Trust property, Llanerchaeron, yesterday. The walled gardens are inspiring. Not that I can aspire to having a walled garden but there are some great ideas for planting combinations, techniques for growing fruit and veg etc. and a cutting garden I can only dream of but maybe could replicate on a very small scale. I also came over all emotional. It was so beautiful.

#gardening #BloomScrolling

Photo of a border in a walled garden full of colourful blooms that resemble a fireworks display. Yellow echinacea and day lilies, red crocosima, something very pink (phlox maybe) and ditto something white. Green foliage of a climbing rose (I think) smothers the red brick wall behind

Olha só que bonita essa árvore. Ipê rosa do trampo. Está deslumbrante.

Desconheço hashtags de árvores ou plantas, se alguém conhecer me avise para fazer marcação.

Edit:

Árvore alta, de tronco magro, completamente florida em um tom rosa forte. Abaixo da árvore, há plantas menores, incluindo uma outra árvore não florida. A foto está iluminada. É possível ver partes de prédios em volta das árvores.

I love the centers of these flowers, they look like some beautiful eldritch horror spilling into our world from between purple fairy wings.

Last night in the greenhouse...

'Queen of the Night' a night-flowering Cereus though not sure which one. The large (5"-6") flowers start to open late afternoon but are not in their prime until after dark. Then they're over by the morning.

#RoseCampion & #ButterflyBush - part of our #pollinators #garden in front yard.

#Bloomscrolling #florespondence #floral #Summer #Wsanec #flowers #botanical #perennials #nature #Saanich #VictoriaBC #YYJ #VancouverIsland #VanIsle #PacificNorthwest #Cascadia #PNW #Zone8

Close-up, slightly high-angle shot of a flower garden. Dominant hues are shades of pinks and purples. The foreground flowers are extremely bright pink, out-of-focus, and take up the bottom third of the composition. Small purple flowers form the primary flower cluster, with stems covered in soft white fuzz. The background partially reveals a grey rooftop and green trees. The scene is well-lit, with overcast lighting.

This is the second season of my mini wildflower meadow on our front yard extension. It used to be just weeds and now it's covered in flowers. My neighbors thought I was crazy but now they are very complimentary.

A view of a profusion of Black Eyed Susans (Rudbeckia hirta) with saffron-colored petals and very dark (nearly black) centers.

ALT

The focus is on a single Indian Blanket Flower (Gaillardia pulchella) with red petals that are ringed in bright yellow, and a red and yellow center. There are more growing elsewhere in the mini meadow.

ALT

I think this is False Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides), as identified by the iNaturalist Seek app. It is over 6 feet tall and has taken over the mini meadow this year. It did not make any appearance last summer.

A low-angle, medium shot of several lavender plants. The composition is dominated by the lavender in the foreground. Small violet flowers are in full bloom at the top of the stems. The background includes a clear, blue sky with a few green trees and reddish-pink flowers. The image is brightly lit, with strong contrasts between the purple blooms, green foliage, blues sky and earth tones.

ALT

A ground-level shot of vibrant green foliage with tall stalks of purple-pink catmint flowers extending towards a clear, bright blue sky. The flowers are in full bloom, creating a dense, natural setting. Overlapping foliage and treetops appear in the background.

A couple of newer flowers from the garden today.
Our begonias are just getting started. They usually live by our front door but were displaced because of the door replacement construction.
This yellow blossom isn't my favorite but was first to bloom.
The dahlia is new to us this year and is really bright. I love the color.
Today we picked green beans and peas. The green beans we cooked with dinner. Yum!
We also cooked some of our potatoes. It is fun to eat out of the garden this time of year.
Since I mowed the half acre closest to the road today I am worn out. I really need to buy a senior citizen rated mower that doesn't require pulling a cord.
We hope today treated you well.

Magenta and white dahlia blossom. There is a little bit of yellow in the center. The magenta is on the outside edges of each white pointed petal.

A yellow begonia blossom with a small sprinkling of red accent. The petals have uneven edges. This begonia flower isn't very full with about three layers of petals.
