October flowers

Here is my monthly snapshot of the blossoms and blooms in my garden this month. As I've mentioned before it's spring! and my garden is full of frilly pastel confections.

Middle image: clematis in jug. Outer images, clockwise from top left: clematis Montana, Cercis Forest Pansy flowers, nemesia, cherry blossom, more nemesia, pink rhododendron, the whole rhododendron bush, pansies, a frilly yellow/red ranunculus, pink ranunculus, cherry blossom, ranunculus and freesia.

      I love pansies too for their cute little faces :) They are great any time of year!

    I love pastels - and I have a collection of pink roses (most not blooming right now) to prove it. Beautiful photos of a lovelly garden.

      You can never have too many pastels, pink or roses! You must have the garden of my dreams :)

    Beautiful! I am going to have to put ranunculus on my wish list. I just love the form of that bloom - and it's beautiful color!

      It surprised me with the colour, it's actually bicolour which I've never seen in a ranunculus before. It's nice to have some more muted colours to mix in with the brights!

    Everything is very pretty right now. The flowers are bright and cheerful and aren't wearied like they will be when summer arrives.
    My roses are flowering. The fruit trees have all but finished.
    Your October flowers are very pretty.

      I must be a little behind you, my fruit trees are still in full blossom (except the peach and almond). And I don't have roses yet - but I soon will when the buds open! Isn't it a great time of year :)

    How lovely to see some spring flowers - here it's autumn so less and less flowers in the garden. Still it's a lovely time of year with wonderful colours.

    Your spring garden looks gorgeous! Especially love the rhododendron bush:) Your color taste, gradation from white to pink, pink to purple, is great! By the way, I sent the garden shop's website address vir e-mail. Please check it out:)
