Diggin' It

Petalicious! Always in awe of the colours, shapes and incredible intricacies of flowers. All this splendour to attract our beneficial insects. 🐞🐝🦗🦋

Out on my (almost) daily iso stroll, flora spotting. Fabulous colour and diversity even in winter! ❤🌸👍🙏

My little front yard patch is coming along a bit. Newly planted Windflower and Osteospermum help fill in the gaps. Such shallow soil though. I did try to rip a hole in the tarp the soil is sitting on, only to find a second layer! And still the weeds come through! The side patch (pic 3) is a bit more problematic as it is shady, but still has the two layers of tarp and a multitude of ever-growing weeds. Nasturtiums are doing well here, and hopefully a newly planted Osteospermum - different to the other one - will take off. It's all very hit and miss!!! 😱🙏

Monet's garden at Giverney (not my pic, unfortunately!) How beautiful is this? I love waterlilies; they have a spiritual meaning for me. How about you? Any flora that you hold dear at all? 🌺🌸🏵

Beautiful visitor for the nectar, today!
