I love the tiny flower detail on sedum heads.

Almost like lace in some ways.

I also love the different hues they come in from near white.

To deep pink.

They'll be finished soon for this year though :(

The recent sunny weather has brought the pelargoniums into a second round of flowering.

And today was a pleasantly sunny day with good light for taking pictures in the garden.

So here's shocking pink pelargoniums in all their glory.

If only I could get them to grow in my window boxes but I don't think they get enough sun to do well on our north east facing windowsills.

We have several hydrangea plants in out garden. One is a white climbing version. But I've always liked the blue and pink ones the most.

Now I know that the colour of the flower heads is meant to be partially determined by the pH of the soil (blue in acidic, pink in alkaline).

So how on the same plant have I got blue and pink flower heads so close together. 

The best of both worlds perhaps.

And quite intriguing. Explanations welcome.

The roses are starting to open in the garden.

There are only a few so far but I'm looking forward to when the bush is covered in blooms in a few weeks.

Lovely isn't it!

Yesterday (and the day before) I did lots of tidying and sorting in the dining room.

And I made it all nice looking again instead of the junk heap it had become.

Here is one of the things that I think makes it look nice.
