~ garden mood board September/October 2013 ~

















I had to race into the garden between squally showers to rescue a few precious flowers for the vases - spring storms are lashing our city and gardens... I feel lucky that there's anything left to show.

Once again, this didn't turn out quite how I had it planned in my mind (I'm not sure why I'm surprised - my photos rarely live up to how my mind thinks they will look).  Does anyone else have that problem?

In the end the floral chaos is a fairly accurate representation of my spring garden though - lots of pinks and blues  - and not much that is very ordered.  Here's last years from the same time of year

How does your garden grow?
I share a garden mood board every month with Asa and Karin

  1. They are beautiful Ally and so much better that they are indoors for your pleasure instead of being weatherbeaten outside. Maybe a little more light might lift the photos even more.

  10. I love how you've arranged them all in different jars. The eighth is my favourite, but they all look really lovely. :)
