It made me so happy to read about nan’s flower. We have lots of it my garden and love it. It’s self seeded itself in abundance. The sight of it makes my heart sing and yes you’re right when closed it does look like a pangolins scales ❤️
Ah that's lovely 😊 It is such a welcome sight at the start of summer . I can never get over the colour there are very few flowers that have that purple - blue. Thank you for telling me you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this! Each year I learn a little more about gardening and this year I started growing from seeds. I love how much you get to observe when you watch a plant grow from the first break in the soil. It develops such a lovely relationship. Your description of your relationship with the Great Blue Bottle speaks of that kind of knowing.
It's the best thing! I only started sowing seeds and really paying attention about five years ago and it's become one of my most precious ways to spend my time. I realise how calm I feel when I write about the garden and my relationship with it. I'm so glad you enjoyed reading - and thank you for telling me 😊
Lovely. A great favourite, only known as ‘cornflower’. Always takes me back to my street in the 1950s, a beautiful garden, sent round by my Mum when she had broken her wrist, an inspection, a neighbourly wash and brush up before school for us three sisters, early morning summer.
