Morning Glory
After a glorious morning breakfast of fruit from the garden…
.
.
…Guttersnipe and Mudlark ran outside.
.
.
They climbed the glorious Phlox…
.
.
…also the spikes of purple Liatris…
.
.
…the swelling white Echinacea.
.
.
…and the Crocosmia, which is just about to pop.

This is the glory of the garden this week…our Agapanthus (Lily of the Nile). Last year it was rescued from the front yard deer ravagings, and transferred it to the protected back yard. This is the first year it has bloomed!

A little jug of glory came into Jane’s kitchen.

You are so creative and full of ideas.❤️
Thank you very much, Bodana…I enjoy the mornings in the garden, in a tranquil place like that, ideas just float up!
Al “little jug of glory” can go a long way when creating in one’s kitchen. Your flowers are gloriously radiant.
I agree – it is so nice in the summer, to be able to bring a little bit of the glorious garden indoors! I couldn’t bring myself to pinching off any agapanthus bells though, or the indoor bouquet would have been even more so!
How funny to see agapanthus so carefully guarded and cherished, when here it’s almost a pest and propagates and spreads itself madly. I love agapanthus because of its gorgeous blue and how tall and stately the flowers are.
It is one of the bluest flowers in the garden here, and not a pest at all, but a glory and delight if it deigns to blossom! I think we are a little more soggy here than it likes in the winter…and then there are the voracious six-inch slugs, and the raccoons that like to dig up the garden in search of them!
Here, they seem to have worked out an ecological balance with the possums and bandicoots, and the six inch grasshoppers!
your flowers are gorgeous!! The two little ones have such a lovely garden to play in.
Thank you! The girls do love a little floral expedition…and the light is so pretty in the morning!
