It was a surreal sunset at Bodnant Garden. The Conwy Valley lit by an ethereal stream of light emanating from further up the valley. #sunset #NorthWales #cymru #wales #bodnant

looking down into the Conwy valley. leafless tree left foreground, fir tree right foreground, below them a stately home, with slate roof. the green valley itself is in a surreal light, with long shadows. in the distance dark hills, grey sky, and bright setting sun behind cloud

From a distance someone seeing this said: Is this a narcissus in the middle of November? No….. it’s a hypericum #InMyGarden #today but just as charming
#BloomScrolling #november #AutumnColors #GayGarden #gaygardeners

a yellow flower with five large petals, circle of multiple orange stamens, surrounded by long dark pointed green leaves

Come into my November garden - still lots of autumn colour here in the north of Wales

a gravel driveway leads to an on black gate, flanked by red bricked pillars, and red-brown beech hedges. beyond, the path continues into a garden and red bricked cottage with chimney

the gravelled path is flanked by a low stone and brick wall. it leads down towards a red bricked single storeyed dwelling, bedding plants each side of thd path, and low fruit trees beyond, denuded of leaves

not all heavenly blues have gone #InMyGarden, being October- here’s Love In A Mist, still eye-catching
#LoveInAMist #GayGardens #GayGardener #today #autumn #october #autumncolors #lavender #BloomScrolling

one Love In A Mist flower head, with two layers of spikey lavender-coloured petals, really thin long wispy leaves beneath, long wispy stamens in the centre

Autumn reds around our 18C Welsh ‘red house’ or ‘Ty Coch’, as many old dwellings here are called.

In the foreground a red acer in a red clay pot. To the right a deep red-purple firebush. Behind the acer a tall Golden Oat plant. it is the garden in front of a red brick cottage with dark slate roof, sashed upper windows on left and right with small window in the middle. The roof has two chimneys at each gable end. The sky beyond is blue with white fluffy clouds

our day out in the sunshine, in the Elan Valley, mid-Wales. Its natural beauty contrasts with that of human endeavour and modern technology of the 1950s - pearl-gray jaguar XKJ150 faces the Claerwen dam in one pic, with its rear to the treeless hills of the valley.

We had the river Clywedog at Bontuchel to ourselves - a #SilentSunday walk

The loveliest rose in our neighbourhood now and it’s growing wild in the hedge on our lane

“No farmers, no food’ our farmers protest. Here in my part of #Wales #Cymru in the Vale of Clwyd we are surrounded this summer by field after field of maize, which is being grown I’ve been told not for food for people to eat (if only!), but as an ‘energy crop’ to feed anaerobic digesters. But is it going to be good for the soil on the Vale’s high-quality agricultural land?

Our Cox’s Orange Pippins are living up to their name this autumn - an intense red- ish orange color.
#GrowYour Own #gyo #autumn #OrangePippins #AppleTree #GayGarden #GayGardener

A pair of apples still attached by their stem to a branch. The fruit are intense red-orange - no wonder they are called Orange Pippins

An espalier apple tree, with around a dozen fruits, each one red-ish orange.

My sister gave us this deep yellow rose - it was a favourite of dad’s who we lost too young 33 years ago - one of several plants from her garden.

a deep yellow rose just starting to open out after rain and sun, the outer petals open but the inner ones still form a tight bud

The intense purple of the flowers now atop a new garden wall makes it my fav plant right now #InMyGarden….. part of a good buy selection from Aldi this summer 🥰

Of our eight fruit trees only this ‘James Grieve’ apple has fruited successfully this year- no-show insect population at a crucial time in spring.

@JuniperJump@mastodonapp.uk ah! unmistakable

This is the birthday present my husband gave me because he knows I love hot chocolate. And its buds have opened in the warm summer sun. (Did you guess? The rose’s name is Hot Chocolate)

a single rose bud opening in bright sunshine. The colour is dusky red.

Finally after over 12 months the building of single-room extension to our welsh 18th century cottage - using as close a red brick as we could find to the original - and a new pathway to it, are complete - we’ve planted red dahlias to complement it.

The Day-lilies #InMyGarden #today These burnt-orange hemerocallis are lighter in colour this year, but still spectacular, whether good or bad summer
#JulyGarden #DayLily #hemerocallis #GayGardener #GayGardening #BloomScrolling #summer

one huge day lily flower. six tepals, light burnt orange colour, almost orange, but with yellow interior, six stamens and strange long thin yellow stigma

the light and heat of the July sun may not be much in evidence but #InMyGarden there's a clwydian hot bed of fire - penstemons, bottlebrush, day lilies, crocosmia

We don’t have any hollyhocks now - not the real thing anyway - but we do have what I think of as a small type of hollyhock, i.e. a stunning pink sidalcia, or prairie marrow. I love the heart shaped petals.

a stunning pink sidalcia flower head, slightly wet. Each delicate petal is heart shaped.

Here’s the Real Thing - splendid hollyhocks. But they are not in our 😢 but in a neighbour’s garden.
So NOT #InMyGarden
