Love nature, gardening and science. Appreciate integrity, honesty and kindness.
Grass is just the most resilient plant! This was almost totally brown a few weeks ago, but after some rain …..

The purple loosestrife (Lythrum Salicaria) is thriving this year. Obviously likes having its feet wet in the pond in this hot weather.

Beautiful sunlight this evening. This lovely plant regrows from ground level each year - I’m fairly sure it’s a type of Cosmos, but not the annual, self-seeding kind. #flowers #gardens #gardening #bloomscrolling

Got to love a rose. This beauty is a new addition to our garden, called ‘For Your Eyes Only’, but I’m sharing it with you anyway!

This mahonia is one of the only original plants remaining from when we moved in over 20 years ago. I’m glad it’s still here - wonderful display this year. #flowers #gardens #gardening #nature #spring
