FLOWERS BLOOMING IN MY GARDEN

The weather had been beautiful. Blue skies, the sun is shining and it is pleasantly warm!

A nice day to take photos.

  1. What lovely photos, Sonia! It must be wonderful to walk through your garden. The only one of these flowers I can identify is, I believe, coreopsis. I'm fascinated by the plants that grow in your trees. What is the magnificent white-blooming tree? Would you mind identifying all these wonderful flowers?

  5. You have a beautiful garden, Sonia. It must take a lot of work ... but certainly worth it. I enjoy looking at other's gardens, but I am afraid I am terribly lazy when it comes to gardening !!
    Have a wonderful weekend.
    Take care, meow

  6. Sonia, your flowers are BEAUTIFUL! I know people (okay, family) that would kill (or at least maim, heh-heh) for orchids as lovely as those! All joking aside, I am facinated by all of the varieties that grow in such a beautiful and seemingly carefree way!

  8. Sonia, you have Orchids in your garden? That is great, I have not one, also not in the house.
    A woman of my garden society has a lot of Orchids in the conservatory.

  9. Oh Sonia, you really do have some beautiful things blooming in your yard, and such lovely photos! My mother used to have orchids (some miniatures as well) growing in her gum trees. I've never tried growing them. Maybe someday (but not in the trees here in NY)! I do have coreopsis...so bright and pretty.

  14. Amazing to see the orchid growing in the wild! We only see them at the florist and pay up to $30 a stem or a small potted plant for about the same!I would love to read your book on the elderly as my mother has just been diagnosed with alzheimers disease.Is it available in Canada?
