Several warnings are in place today. The temperature will rocket again and storms are gathering and will hit most of us later today. There is no sunshine this morning and not a breath of breeze. The garden is grey and definitely silent, as if holding it’s breath. It felt eerie, as I walked around looking for flowers.

This should have been a Six on Saturday post, but it just didn’t happen…

Not sure what these are, but I remember planting them last year. No one was more surprised than me when they turned up with flowers!

This is the first promising development on the dahlia front and the first to produce a flower bud. It looks like it might be yellow, what do you think?

This is a mystery plant. I remember buying the seeds and planting the seedlings, but after that, I am clueless. Hopefully, somebody will enlighten me?

Another new arrival. It didn’t do much last year, but it’s making an effort now. I love the black lacy leaves, and I think it’s called sambuca…

This peace rose is my all-time favourite

and has moved several times with us. I can’t wait to see the flowers…

This is a cutting from an orange blossom, I think. I could be a bonsai, but only time will tell…

Not bad for a part-time gardener, but I really should try harder!
