Beautiful foxgloves, one of my favourite summer flowers... 

Perfect little petals...

Think Spring might just have sprung... Have a good weekend 

Beautiful snowdrops, lovely to see those little green shoots. 

Even with half the petals fallen off, tulips are still beautiful...

Late summer colour and bloom...

I don't think the colours are quite as nature intended, but beautiful none the less... 

Beautiful flower in my parents garden today, a bright burst of colour even when the clouds came over...

At this time of year I have a fondness for ornamental cabbages in the garden, don't ask me why but I think they're just beautiful!

As autumn takes hold here, a summery orchid to wish my good friend happy holidays... Have a good weekend.

Whatever the season, gerbera's are always a favourite of mine.

Sea Holly I think - I have it growing on my garden but not the same as seeing it on the beach.

Brightly coloured marigolds, doing their bit to keep late summer going!

Late summer roses holding onto their blossom. I too am trying to hold onto summer for as long as possible, I don't want it to end!

My children have shown great patience in waiting for this sunflower to open, it's been growing for weeks and today finally that long awaited pop of sunshine.

Today just goes to prove that a five year old doesn't need electronic games and tv to be happy. My daughter wanted to make a 'nature stick', taking flowers and leaves that we found in the garden and binding them onto a stick with string - oh how I love that dear sweet girl.

A traditional summer flower, the hollyhock; on what has finally been a traditional summer day, it's been a long while coming...

This beautiful old rose comes from a plant in my mums garden, which originates from my grandmothers garden. I only wish the scent could be transmitted over my blog, it's heavenly!

Garden centres and nurseries are a favourite of mine at this time of year, bedding plants all lined up just waiting to be bought and made into beautiful displays at home.

Finally some warm summer weather today, lifts the spirits!
