...a posy!
This was my gardening this weekend - picking some flowers! With all the rampant growth (mainly from weeds obviously) and tying in required you'd think I would have been doing something useful. But no, I spent a sunny Saturday socialising - hence the posy as a present, and the rainy Sunday shouting at the rain, most definitely from indoors!
Even I'm unimpressed with my lack of action.
Anyway, here's my posy.
Sambucus nigra, for it's pink fluffy blossom and dramatic black leaves,
Alchemilla Mollis for it's foamy lime flowers and felty leaves,
Erysimum Bowles Mauve and Linaria Canon Went for pinky purples, and Geranium Johnson's Blue and Campanula poscharskyana for truer blues,
Erigeron Karvinskianus (Mexican Daisy) and a little white Allium (which I don't remember planting at all) for highlights,
and finally a pop of magenta from some silvery leaved Lychnis coronaria.
My garden in a handful, tied with a satin ribbon.
(and the best way of looking at it as the weeding and tying in and clearing isn't getting done)
