In the garden, there are granny's bonnets popping up all over the place. The purple ones are covered in tiny greenfly, but the pink ones seem to have escaped unscathed for some reason. I picked a couple of the purple bell flowers, thanks to whoever identified them last week as campanula. Aren't they beautiful?
I really love the delicate chive flowers, and can't resist picking them. We also have a nice big pot of them which I'm using for cooking. The other two cuttings are random. We have a large bush with tiny little white flowers tinged with lilac… everyday it is awash with buzzing bees. The tiny pink flower is most likely a weed, but has such a sweet scent.
The fabric in the background is a Liberty print called pepper. I'm working on a new hand-pieced quilt and will share that here soon.
Joining in with Annie's 'how does your garden grow' and Asa's 'garden mood board'.

ReplyDeleteI've just read Tuesdays post - such great news! My eldest daughter was born in October, it's a lovely time of year to have a baby. This is the bestest, happiest post! Thanks for sharing and yippee! x

ReplyDeletethank you! x
DeleteReally lovely! I've been picking flowers from outside lately too, we have a lane opposite our house full of them. Probably weeds but they look nice so I don't care :)
ReplyDeletethanks Gemma! I know, I think a lot of the things I'm drawn to are probably weeds! x
Deletelovely. I really like the pictures with the blue background
ReplyDeleteÅsa
thanks Asa x
DeleteSweet photos:-)
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I like the way you displayed them on that paper and the vase is gorgeous. Weeds are just someone else's wildflowers, someone said once, and I like that. All flowers are welcome in our home, wild or not! x
ReplyDeletethank you! that is a lovely saying, and one I'll remember! x
DeleteSuch beautiful, simple flowers. It's lovely to see delicate blooms.
