Shades of Pink in September

From the lightest of pale pinks through to deep, dark hues that are almost red, there are many blooms blushing pink in our early Spring garden.


The light pink flower head of the scented Rose Geranium.

 The stunning buds and blooms of a native climber.

The gorgeous pink flower spike of a spicy Salvia.

The delicate and fragrant petals of a pink-flowering Sweet Pea.

 The ruffled pink petals of colourful Dianthus.

The beautiful colours of these September blooms clearly announce that Spring is here. Do you have pink blooms in your garden too?

    1. The garden is looking lovely at the moment with so many flowers blooming. It's lovely to see so much colour. The rain we've had too is helping everything to look lush and green.

  2. So pretty sadly there is not a single flower in the garden at our rental although I did notice this morning that our neighbour has a lilly pilly covered in little pink pompoms and a few branches lean over our fence, as close as I get sadly.

    1. You must miss having flowers around, Fiona. Wherever I've lived over the years, I've always had flowers growing. I imagine that you'll grow lots of flowers in your New Zealand garden once you get it established. Meg

  3. So pretty. I recently planted a rose of sharon hibiscus and a pink flowering crepe myrtle. I think your pink saliva looks beautiful, I must add some to my garden in the future.

    1. Salvias are great plants, Sherri. I have this pink one, a purple one, a reddish one and a white one too. I love their spicy fragrance but also their hardiness. Honey bees love them too! My mother-in-law had a pink crepe myrtle at her house and it was gorgeous when out in bloom. I love the bark of crepe myrtles too, don't you? Meg
