This image takes me right back to flipping through old seed and plant catalogues—you know, the ones that felt like finding a treasure chest of color. This is a scan of a vintage cover, likely from the seed house C. Frikart Söhne, featuring a lush, watercolor painting that just bursts with summer joy.

Visited #KiftsgateCourtGarden today. The #WildflowerGarden was absolutely stunning despite (or perhaps because of?) having nearly finished.

Combination of Gaura and Dierama at Kiftsgate Garden

Lots of seed heads in the wildflower garden at Kifrsgate Garden

Photo taken at ground level in the wildflower garden at Kiftsgate Gardens. Variety of plants including a yellow Poppy spilling onto the gravel path.

Angelica tree (Aralia elata) at Kiftsgate Gardens. The leaves are just starting to turn a bright shade of orange.

The saga of the broken auto macro lens continues but hopefully will be sorted soon. I am making do with the little manual portrait lens. It is bright and resolves beautifully. Most important, it doesn't weigh a ton.

The problem is that I have to have it open to nail the focus but because it is open, the depth of field is very shallow.

For identification, that isn't necessarily a huge problem.

So here is a leafcutter bee. There are lots on the forest of knapweed on my raised bed wildflower meadow.

Tightly bunched thistle-like purple flowers of knapweed, with scaly golden brown buds yet to open. A bee is pointing its pointed bottom towards the camera, giving a view of the very wide pollen brush. That width suggests a Patchwork Leafcutter bee

A few May wildflower garden shots. Bugle, red campion and sweet woodruff. The bugle is alive with insects from dawn to dusk, even in the shade. The woodruff has spread from a small patch in the garden to filling virtually every available space. Very recommended for indestructible fragrant ground cover!

Four photo collage of scenes from Gordon Castle walled garden. Clockwise from top left: small pool with fountain, water lilies in the water, purple lavender in background; wildflower garden with brick period house in background; swathes of purple, and some white, lavender with trees in the background; swathes of yellow coreopsis and some red poppies with brick period house in background.

pics in collage cont- Top right and bottom left are Wild Blue Flax / Linum lewisii ; my plants are from British Columbia seed, but I think Alberta natives are the same species (none in my immediate area). Behind in lower left are a Castilleja (this one also from B.C.) and Erigeron caespitosus from the montane zone west of here.

💚 Die Fläche aller Gärten in Deutschland entspricht in etwa der Fläche aller nationaler Naturschutzgebiete. Was für ein riesiges Potenzial, Tieren und Pflanzen zu helfen, wenn man die Gärten naturnah gestaltet. Etwas weniger Ordnung und etwas mehr Wildnis reichen oft schon aus.💚

PS: Die Kornblumen blühen in blau bis violett.

A peaceful wildflower garden teaming with all different colours. Behind it, is a stone wall with a doorway, enticing you to go through it. Where does it go?
