Being outside and enjoying the beautiful plants and flowers that are about is definitely something that's keeping me going at the moment, so I thought it might be nice to grow our own garden here where we can all enjoy it.
Please add any pictures, links, chats about anything you're enjoying in your garden, have found on a walk, wish you had in your garden etc. Or just enjoy wandering around 🙂

Beautiful @Shaz51. I received a shock the other day to see that my mauve pig face came out in bloom @CheerBear@Jojo2@Former-Member@frog@MoonGal and "all" passing through - as that is usually a summer bloomer. We did have heatwaves temps in April so it has probably tricked them into blooming lol. Pic below

OH MY! an orange hydrangea! that's glorious! @Shaz51
I didn't know they came in anything other than blue, pink or white. Goodness, do you have to do something to the soil to get the orange?
I just read up a bit about hydrangeas and colour - I think I might have a new future project for some pretty potted colour in my life!
Thank you for sharing.

Aren't pigface so delicate - what a lovely display of colour @Former-Member. The weather has been all over the place, everything seems to be a bit confused by the shifting seasons.

Pigface are lovely @Former-Member. Yes, the weather here has been very unseasonable. The humidity and heat was going on a bit too long for me this year so am now enjoying the more subtle weather - although still warm it's cool enough to sleep at night which is really nice and there's that cool refreshing breeze - lovely. My bauhinia tree is also flowering, again unusual - it's like a box a chocolates - never know what I am going to get lol xx
I found a picture of a verandah surrounded by minaturempetunias and a view to die for - wouldn't it be lovely to share a cuppa together overlooking this 😍 (Pic below). Dreamy
