End of Month View - July 2016

 Here we are at the end of July with two summer months gone already. It is extremely hot and the garden is struggling to remain green and fresh under the burning sun. It is not easy, but plenty of water every evening helps a lot. / Iată-ne și la finalul lui iulie și a două luni de vară. E foarte cald și grădina se străduie să rămână verde și proaspătă sub un soare care pur și simplu arde tot ce se poate. Nu e ușor, dar multă apă în fiecare seară ajută enorm.

The Old Garden in the Heat of the Summer

Still beautiful and colourful, the old garden is facing the highest temperatures ever. Unfortunately, we do not have enough time to take good care of it, hope it will get over well this extremely hot summer.

In a Vase on Monday - That Colour

De vreo câteva zile e arșiță și pentru vaza de azi am căutat cea mai proaspătă culoare posibilă. E acel alb -verzui absolut minunat și atât de rar  în grădină., pe care azi l-am găsit la inflorescențele ca niște broderii ale Hydrangeei Paniculata Limelight, la floricelele - perluțe de Achillea Ptarmica, la singurul exemplar de morcov sălbatic/ Daucus carotae/ Queen Anne's Lace, care chiar nu știu cum a ajuns la mine în strat și la florile uscate de Iberis. Vazele fac parte dintr-un set cumpărat anul trecut și e prima oara când le pun pe toate trei împreună./ It has been extremely hot in the last few days and I have looked for the freshest colour possible, that absolutely lovely greenish white that is so rare in my garden and which I have found today in the lace-like flowers of  Hydrangea Paniculata Limelight, in the pearl-like little flowers of Achillea Ptarmica, in the wild Queen Anne's Lace flower ( that nobody knows how it has come up in a flower bed) and in a few deadheads of Iberis.The vases are part of a set I bought last year and today is the first time I use all of them in the same arrangement.

Wordless Wednesday - July Lace

In a Vase on Monday - Colourful Midsummer

All shapes and all colours together, no cromatic rules. It is midsummer, the most colourful time of the year when any flower combination looks just great./ Toate formele și culorile împreună, nicio regulă cromatică. E miezul verii, cea mai colorată perioadă din an, când orice combinație de flori chiar arată nemaipomenit.

  

Roses, second blooming

Nu știu de ce, dar întotdeauna, a doua înflorire a trandafirilor mi se pare că e un pic mai romantică./I do not know why, but as usual, the second blooming of roses seems to be a little bit more romantic.
