these are just so amazing to me. they are a pleasure to look at especially since it's currently snowing outside...
:)
i hope you enjoyed a wonderful summer weekend and may your week continue in the same vein...
Thank you dear Foamy , it has been very hot here for the last couple of days so I took advantage of the fine weather.
I am very fortunate to have plenty of sunshine even though I do complain when it is too hot, I guess you would call it a Mediterranean climate here so I can grow all kinds of lovely plants.
I shall think of you and your snow, maybe it shall make me feel cooler, you have a great week as well and enjoy that beautiful Winter whiteness.

That Dwarf Apple Gum leaf has got to go.
That price, without a doubt the first is my favorite, very beautiful.
You certainly fit a lot into your garden!
Oh Pugsley my sweet it is a beautiful leaf, one of nature's creations, just look at the colours and markings.
It will fall off soon enough and shall be gone.

Thanks dear Leovi , yes the first photo with the Canna Lily is lovely, the plant looks very tropical with its striped leaves and if I am lucky it will have a yellowish/orange flower soon.
Saludos xoxoxo ♡
Yes dear J Cosmo I do have a lot of plants, some I have bought, some have been gifts from friends and some I have struck from cuttings ... it is a BIG garden, sometimes the amount of work is beyond me but I love being in it just the same.
xoxoxo ♡
You have a very nice garden.
Ah, the beauty of summer!
perhaps
you could invite
the pug down for a visit
a closer viewing might change his mind about your dwarf apple gum then
btw, is it carnivorous?

That striped Cana shot is so vibrant! Into photography?!
How gorgeous! I LOVE the canna leaves. It's fun to see your plants, we share experience with some of them. I miss the more tropical foliage from Florida so I'm thankful to see yours.
Thank you dear Lil Lamb , I'm so pleased that you like it.

Yes dear Tinkerbell , there is a lot to be thankful for in the Summer garden.

Yes dear /t. , I could invite Pug down here for a visit, yes on closer inspection he might like the dwarf apple gum, it has nice bark and I have plenty of other trees he might enjoy.
Perhaps I may be able to clear up some of the misconceptions he has about my country.
No, the tree is not carnivorous, nor does it bear apples. :)

Thanks dear Opaque the canna lily is very vibrant with its striped leaves.
I do like taking photos but I am just an amateur photographer, sometimes I am lucky and get a good shot, sometimes not.
xoxoxo ♡
Thank you dear Kathleen , yes the canna lily is very tropical and colourful; I am pleased that you liked the photo.
I have a few plants which grow in the tropics and rain forests.

ahhhhhh what a warm respite from the frozen landscape i am living. freezing cold here today -only 8 degrees. owwwwwwwwww
Bumper crop of lemons, send recipes stat!!
Thanks dear chickory , that is cold, I hope in some small way these sunny pictures did warm you.
Actually it is very hot here at present and I would love some 'cool' but not all of that snow and dangerous weather conditions you are experiencing in the US at present.
Take care and stay safe.

A bumper crop of lemons dear Phossy that's good, I don't have the recipes but may I suggest lemonade, salt preserved lemon and lemon meringue pie...there should be recipes on the Internet. :)
