Blue and purple today!
The last of the lavender roses.
Violas everywhere!
New clematis Mrs N Thompson is a summer bloomer! Yay!
Blueberries are ripening!
The black mondo grass is blooming.
….and I’ve already forgotten what this is! Oh wait, I found the empty pot. Isotoma or blue star creeper. I’ve put it under my massive white rose, as the grass doesn’t like to grow there.

Beautiful! You must have had some sun 😉
ooo man, love the Clematis! And the ornamental grass. As you know I’ll roll over and fetch for blue flowers.
I used to have blue alliums left over from the last owner, but they petered out. I’d be putting up photos of what I HAVE got but it is 90+ degrees everyday and locker room humid out; I’m cowering and not ashamed to admit it. I have brambles growing up through my rhododendrons and I JUST CAN’T MAKE MYSELF CARE.
Yep, I was saving the blue and purple ones just for you! The iso-whatever really looks more blue in person. I hope it spreads!
I wish I had some of your heat, it depresses me that August here is the beginning of Autumn. It’s my birthday tomorrow and man, it was always so great as a kid, not having to have it during the school year and it was so nice outside…unfortunately this is the first year since I started this job I have to be at work on my b’day. I’m not amused. Boss better bring me a plant and leave the cake for someone else!
Yeah, I don’t do cake either. It drives the Engineer nuts. He bakes like some guys tinker at the workbench.
I would eat it if it was made for purpose – but I’ll get some supermarket crap or horrid Irish cookies that taste of sawdust. And the song, oh god not the song. I hate it so much.not even Marilyn made it sound good.
Sing to tune of Volga Boat Song:
HAPPY BIRTH DAY
HAPPY BIRTH DAY
PEOPLE CRYING EVERYWHERE
[2nd verse: PEOPLE DYING IN DESPAIR]
HAPPY BIRTH DAY.
PERFECT!
I did get the dry cake, and four candles (told them they shoulda broke another one in half if we were doing decades). Thankfully no singing. I do so prefer to work with men. They don’t want to effing well sing, either.
Wow, Awesome. The first two pictures look so smooth and the colors stand out so , they could be one of Emily’s cakes. Grand. Be well . Hugs
Thank you! I’m realising most of my blue/purple is earlier in the year, so I need to look into that!
Fabulous rose – is it one of those strongly perfumed Blue Moons?
I really don’t know! Been so very long. I might make it a winter project to figure out exactly what the heck I have!
I think it might be Sterlng Silver! Just from looking online.
There’s a whole family of pale lavender roses with the most wonderful scent, and I think Blue Moon was the first, but there are loads more now…
Love all the purply blues! 💙
What fabulous colours. The lavender rose is perfect!
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!

Thank you! I’ve decided to be a big child this year and got all toys 🙂
Ooooooooo! They look amazing.
Thank you! And you don’t have to go look at everything- I’ve been doing this blog for years now. Your eyes might fall out.
Yours is easy to look at. 😁 and I am only giving sincere likes to those flowers which attracts me a lot. Sincerity mode ON!
I have a lot of flowers!
Haha…that sounds like a challenge. I’ll hang around your blog ..it soothes me 😊 Well .. as long as my phone doesn’t fall on my face … you can find my likes haunting your posts.
You’ve already given me a new daily record for ‘likes!’ Thanks 🙂
I’m probably soothing because I’m all cats and dogs and plants – no kids! Hehehe.
Pets counts as kids according to me. I don’t find them much different…except when they grow up and go to college.😋..I have two sons..one is a dog..and the other is definitely a cat.
I just read your post about stick figure drawings! My furry kids just draw with poop…
Artists don’t need pencils and paint…poop will do too 😎
