I’m spending my summer holiday at home. There’s no better time to enjoy the garden than a lazy summer day.
We had a small display of Christmas flowers on our pohutukawa this year.
I love these blue flowers with their shell of protective spikes. Does anyone know what they’re called?
This is the first year I’ve had a proper vegetable garden. As if my learning curve wasn’t steep enough, I decided to try my hand at raising plants from seed for the first time too. I planted everything out a little late, but we’re just starting to see the first tomatoes and courgettes come through!
The bees are enjoying these chive flowers as much as I am.
I’ve been stabbed more times than I care to admit by this beautiful rose.

Ahhh beautiful! In the middle of a rainy winter in the UK, these pictures have given me a lovely summer lift 🙂
Thanks, glad you enjoyed them!
It is wonderful to know that it is summer somewhere and flowers are blooming! The rose is beautiful.
Isn’t it just!
Ditto: It’s wonderful to see these in January.
It’s great to know I’ve brightened up a few northern hemisphere winters 🙂
We’ll try to do the same for you come June.
That sounds like an excellent trade.
