This week on Tuesday Treasures, I am featuring the few remaining flowers blooming in the garden – my planting scheme isn’t aimed at late summer. I managed to photograph these in between the rain showers on Sunday.

Beautiful. Are there a couple of Osteospermums in amonst there? I love them and have quite a few in mind garden with a range of colours.
Lynn 😀
Yes, there are! But I’d forgotten their names – thank you for that. I love them, too. So attractive – they fit into my colour scheme and are as tough as old boots.
The hibiscus 🌺 are beautiful! Our heat wave has killed off everything but roses. Nothing seems to kill them, lol.
They are beautiful, aren’t they? Hm – rose blooms will die off quite quickly if subjected to chilly winds and driving rain for days on end:)). Or rot while still in bud without bothering to bloom.
So lovely and serene.
Thank you, Becky. Yes – it’s a lovely place to chill, particularly early in the mornings:))
I wish I had a green thumb, but alas I have neither the talent or time. These photos are beautiful!
Thank you, Mogsy. Though there are far too many weeds ramaging through the garden right now… But it is still a real source of pleasure:)
Beautiful pics! I love lavender…
Oh so do I, Greg! It’s got to be one of my favourite plants, ever! At once stage, I had a beautiful lavender hedge, but it got ripped apart by the wind, as I didn’t keep it clipped back. This has been a wonderful lavender year, as they thrive in hot, dry weather:))
Your hibiscus plants are so gorgeous!
They are absolutely smothered in flowers this year – I’m very fond of them:))
So pretty!!
Thank you, Jennie:))
You’re welcome, Sarah.
Beautiful! We’re down to one flower–yup, one. Bash’s wildflowers were nearly all eaten up in the sprouts stage by the dreaded chipmunks,but this one plant, a vine-kind of flower with pretty tiny purple blossoms, is still holding on despite our coldsnaps.
Yes… we don’t have much flowering in the garden right now, either. I lost my dear little fuchsia, which is really upsetting – I think that though we watered it, it didn’t like the sudden heat:((. But the garden has become rather straggley and untidy. We need to get out there and get it tidied up! But I’ve been away for a fortnight with my sister-in-law – sorry about the rather spotty responses, etc. but my little laptop is having memory problems, so I couldn’t go online with it.
How awesome you got out and spent time with some loved ones! I actually went away for a night WITHOUT my laptop. It was such a weird feeling to not have my big rectangle along 🙂
Yes, it was a writing retreat, so all I had to do was concentrate on my own writing, as well as proof read parts of my sister-in-law’s thesis. And it was bliss. It was in the flat with the turret room overlooking the sea – it has to be my favourite spot in the whole world…
