Summer flowers

It’s been a poor year for summer flowers on the plot.  As I mentioned recently there were no sunflowers, the pot marigolds came and went very quickly and various seeds simply never appeared.

BERJAYAHowever looking round yesterday morning there was some summer colour.  There are plenty of nasturtium flowers, mostly zingy orange  which I have to say I’m not keen on along with a few of these creamy-yellow ones.

Thankfully the cosmos are flowering reasonably well with the usual mix of pink, red, white and some bi-colours.

They should keep going until well into the autumn.

I nearly overlooked this very small nigella/love-in-a-mist as it’s barely 3 inches/7.5 cm tall.  As you can see it’s had two flowers and now got two more.

 

At home the white rose Iceberg is flowering again.  I took this picture yesterday and posted it on Bluesky (where it’s got almost 100 likes), Facebook, Mastodon and X (formerly Twitter).

Have a good weekend, and take care!

One thought on “Summer flowers”

  1. The Iceberg rose deserves the “likes” you got on BlueSky. Your cosmos is pretty. Cosmos is such a reliable annual. My nigella have come and gone and the seed pods are shriveled because it has been so hot and dry this summer. There is always next summer to hope for better results! Liz
