ReplyDeleteThere are lots of pinks blooms out in the garden now that it's Spring. It's a happy colour! MegXx
DeleteSome lovely pinks there, Meg. Aren't the plants loving the rain?
ReplyDeleteWe've had some steady rain at last, Chel. The plants and I are loving it! I hope you've had good falls up on the range. I haven't checked the rain gauge here yet but will in the morning. 🌧
DeleteHi Meg,
ReplyDeletestunning photos as usual. Your photos of the flowers in particular are calendar worthy.
I would definitely buy a calendar featuring these photos or the beautiful shots you took while you were at Rainbow Beach.
My daughter really loved one of those photos and said that if it was available as a print she would buy it to hang in her hallway.
Hope you and your family are keeping well.
Warm regards, Maria xx.
Dear Maria,
DeleteYou and your daughter are so very kind. I'm glad you like my flower photos. I adore flowers and would happily sit in the garden and admire them all day long.
I hope you too are keeping well and finding joys wherever you look.
Meg 🤗
p.s. Which rainbow beach photograph did your daughter like? My favourites were of the sunset up on the Carlo Sandblow.
Good morning Meg,
Deletemy daughter's favourite is the very last photo in your post 'The Cliffs at Rainbow Beach'. I love that one too but also love the sunset photos in your 'The Carlo Sand Blow at Rainbow Beach' post.
In the late 1980's, there were prints of dolphins and sunsets that were very popular. We have three of these on our family room walls. Your sunset photos are similar in style and colour. Obviously my good taste hasn't changed in 30 years😉.
Hope you have a lovely Sunday.
Cheers, Maria xx
Pink is such a lovely colour Meg. There are so many shades to choose from. That puffball flower is gorgeous. Reminds me of a firework exploding in a blaze of glory
ReplyDeleteHi Cherie. The puffy pink flower is the bloom of the powderpuff shrub. They grow around our neighbourhood streets and are in bloom now. They are like bursts of fireworks. Meg😊
DeleteI love a good colour theme, very pretty. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteLots of diffetent pinks in bloom this Spring, Kathy. I have planted some candy pink petunias too and they should flower soon. Hope you have a lovely week too. Meg🌸
DeleteHi Meg, beautiful shades of pink...
ReplyDeleteYou know I used to dislike pink as my beautiful sister in law was swamped by pink everything, but as the years have passed I have grown to like it and possibly even love it...
Take care Meg,
Cheets
Jane.
I'm a bit like you too, Jane. Pink has never been my favourite colour but I find it quite lovely now and especially so in flowers. Meg🌸
DeleteI am rather fond of pink, it is a soothing colour. Have a lovely week x
ReplyDeleteThere are so many pretty pink shades, Christina. The pink flowers in the garden here are blooming and lovely now as it's our Springtime. Hope your week is filled with colour. MegXx
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have several cranberry hibiscus plants, but no flowers yet. Do you know its leaves are edible? I use them in salads and sometimes add to my morning juice. I love its flavor. :)
I have made salads with the young leaves, Nil. I love their flavour too. Meg🍁
DeleteThis pop of colour was just what I needed on this grey autumnal day. Lovely photos, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGlad these pinks brightened a grey day. Xx
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, Meg. You are so creative!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stephanie. Glad you like all these lovely shades of pink. Meg🤗
DeleteOh yes, Salvias! I love those, and so do the bees. Your quilt patch looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteSalvias are just awesome plants for the hot, dry weather. I find they are pretty much indestructible making them a firm favourite. I have been given two new salvias recently, by a lovely gardening friend, and I've been so excited to see them flower in the garden. One is a deep pink and the other is a lovely purple-blue. MegXx
DeleteLet's hear it for wonderful gardening friends! Is there anything better? I love offering cuttings from my garden, and over the moon when a local gardening buff, offers me some too. I wonder if the purple-blue one you received, is Mexican Sage? It's one of the original varieties, and hardiest in drought. I don't know if it was just my local suppliers, but they're pretty hard to track down. The retail nurseries, seem to favour the hybridised ones, over the more common varieties our grandparents kept.
DeleteI will have to ask my gardening friend what variety the purple-blie one is, Chris. It's more blue than purple. It's not Mexican Sage as I already have that growing in garden and it is incredibly hardy as you say.
DeleteMeg🙂
