What does one do with a garden full of roses and wildflowers? Well, aside from sit outdoors getting drunk on their scent all day long, we bring them indoors of course.

In Bloom
Last year nothing flowered, we had a short wet summer. It was our first summer at River Cottage and I was so dissapointed with the lack of colour in the garden, so imagine my surprise when June came around this year, and there are roses abound, and many lovely wild flowers too.

Gorgeous flowers, beautifully arranged.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. On the first one roses' color is singing against the grey background!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are lovely this year...mine not so much. My peonies all had lovely buds but they just would not open up and went rotten on me....I almost cried. First year for them.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful, love that pink!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Sometimes that's the best thing to do in a new garden anyway, wait for a year to see what pops up (if you have the patience that is!) there be treasure in there somewhere :-)
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL .... so much colour and I can only imagine the scents...roses, lavender. The pussy willow in the last picture is my favourite though.
ReplyDeleteYou live in such a beautiful, colourful place!

Beautiful flowers. Don't you just love being able to walk out your door and have cut flowers available whenever the mood strikes?
ReplyDeleteOh yes!
DeleteWow! Those are so gorgeous! That last bouquet looks like it came from a florist. I thought you received flowers until I read the post. How lovely to have so many flowers around.

ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous flowers. I pruned our roses yesterday, being from the other side of the world, it's winter here. I've just discovered your lovely blog through Jacky, love your work.
ReplyDeleteDid you grow those delphiniums????? Delph envy from me - every year I grow them and every year they get eaten of course. I have a stock of things that I know I cannot grow but equally cannot help myself but to try...Your ones are delicious
ReplyDeleteI can't really take the credit, they just appeared in the garden this year! Last year nothing flowered and this year the garden just exploded, these beauties popped up beside a rose bush, they were gorgeous!
