Spring/Summer '12

Moti, you saved the best for last! :) although I do love that red gladiolus. I planted a clump of that one, but it rotted. :( glad yours made it! :)

Motty I well remember your garden it was just bursting with colour, it was an absolute picture.....

May it all come again soon.

i love them all. what is the white clematis? that is a stunner.

lets hope for a sunnier summer this year so they can do there thing all over again.

a blog that cheers on yet another dull grey day in yorkshire. :o)

How wonderful to see all that colour in these cold, grey days: very positive. It's telling, though, how many of the pictures have raindrops all over those lovely flowers. Here's to a slightly drier, sunny summer this year!

wow, masses of colour ~ your garden must be like a rainbow ~ lovely to see!

Lovely flowers Moti, nice to see on a cold grey day like today :o))

I remember all your beautiful dahlias from last summer. I hope to see them again this year.
You had a lovely splash of colour in spite of the weather
:o)

very good - isn't it strange how we forget how much colour we do have in our gardens. When winter is drawing to an end, you can look back and see how brilliant it all looked in summer. I never remember it until I see the pictures and realise it will soon all be back and looking good. Beautiful set of pictures Moti thanks for reminding us all how good it is going to be even if it was wet last year, heres hoping for loads and loads of sunshine, so we can get out more and appreciate our gardens more.

Yes, a bad year, Motinot particularly for vegetable growers, but , like you, my Lillies and Dahlias were fine! Yours made a great display....and what a lovely colour Rose!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments...Thing is Karen, i didnt lift those Gladis Autumn past...dont think they will survive.....Sbg the Clematis is 'Duchess of Edinburgh'...Paul, the Rose is 'Rhapsody in Blue'....a beauty...:>)

Moti, I'm pretty sure those glads are supposed to be hardy and to naturalise, that's why I bought them. time will tell....lets hope they do survive!

lovely pictures!!!!

lovely moti, had early good weather last year so all came early then nothing i remember, nice to see colour :o))

What wonderful photos and a fabulous array of colour, love the roses in particular:)

Super pictures, Motinot! What wonderful, colourful blooms. It's always a surprise to look back and see just how much colour there is in the summer garden, even in a poor year. When everything is so drab it is such an encouragement. And now at last the spring bulbs are beginning to bloom and lots of plants are starting to put out little green shoots.

Oh i do hope so Karen, they were lovely...fingers crossed..And thanks all for the lovely comments...:>)

Wow! Is this rose or sort of Anemone on the last picture? What is its name? It is beautiful!
And do not worry, we all miss spring, but tough times do not last, tough people do :))

This is a rose Katarina......Its called 'Rhapsody in Blue'

Is it?!!! Thank you for information. I have got a root of this one, but mine has never bloomed, yet. That is fantastic! :)

Love the Rose/Clematis combo in the photo third from the end. Is it New Dawn and Diana, if it is its what I have ordered for this year.

Good luck with it Katarina...Stroller it is C. 'Princess Diana'.....Cant remember the name of the Rose, it isnt 'New Dawn'...Its a fairly small one...:>)

great photos Moti:-)))

Thanks Junna...:>)

Fantastic photography Moti: Really cheered me up:))

Fantastic photos Moti, particularly the rain drops on the meconopsis ....superb, loved them all:-)

It does lift the spirits Wells....Thank you
