bougainvillea, friday flowers, garden lantern, Moroccan influences, pink

Not much to say to you, rather I thought you might like to see something pink. 

Fallen petal. Actually not a petal but a bract. Bougainvillea and shadows. 

Moroccan influence is everywhere here in Andalucia. Pretty pink glass in this lantern. 

Strange fan shaped pink plant. I have absolutely no idea what this is. 

Pretty. 

Do tell me if you know what the weird pink fan plant is. D.

Thank goodness it’s Friday: Loving the Seseli

friday flowers, hardy perennial, lace like umbels, Seseli montanum

A random post about a plant I love. 

This is a hardy perennial with dark feathery foliage and white umbels with plum tones. Low growing to a mere 24cm, I think it is exquisite. 

That’s it, nothing else to say except it likes a sunny spot. 

Friday flowers: Patty’s plum

friday flowers, Papaver orientale Patty's Plum

I love it when these poppies open. Petals resembling faded, washed silk. 

Exquisite. 

Wishing you all a good weekend. D.

Friday flowers: tulips are coming

friday flowers, sarah Raven, Spring flowers, tulips

A bunch of tulip bulbs were planted in the Autumn, lasagne style. 

I am not able to refer to my notes today so I am unable to confirm the variety of tulip. I am liking how the colour tone sits with the terracotta. Certainly they are a range from Sarah Raven, the Graceland tulip collection perhaps. 

Tip toe through the tulips time, enjoy.  D.

Friday : bonus

anemone nemorosa, friday flowers, Wood anemone

A walk with a friend is always nice especially when it is someone you haven’t seen in a while and the weather is nice. Despite setting off in drizzle the sun broke through momentarily. Dry and bright enough for the wood anemones to open. 

I love to see these delicate little flowers.

Have a good day. D.
