Garden Flowers



Nothing makes me happier than to see some flowers blooming in the garden.
With Spring here there is a lot of work to do ... pull out the weeds and tidy up after winter.

The lesson I have thoroughly learnt and wish to pass on to others is to know the enduring happiness that the love of a garden gives
~ Gertrude Jekyll

 

I noticed the snails and slugs have been busy feasting on the hydrangea leaves {just about to flower} and geraniums, so not very happy about that.



Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature
~ Gerard de Nerval
 
'Susan' is the name of my new pretty pink Magnolia, I planted the other day



You cannot force open the petals of a rose.
When the rose is ready she will open up to you
~ unknown
So looking forward to my new rose 
 A little lesson we can learn, is that we have to let nature take its course and be patient.


 Floral Friday is a monthly photography project with different themes each month. This series is about fun and taking time out to smell the flowers. To play along next time, please email  Trish  for next month's theme.

Have a happy weekend everyone
If the weather is fine here, hope to get out and do some gardening.
