Yummy flowers




I was fortunate enough to spend the whole day in the garden yesterday weeding, (if you can call working in 30+degrees celcius with humidity lucky) and saw plenty of beauty with butterflies enjoying the milkweed, goldenrod opening up their golden colour, and my first rosebush giving a hint of ballerina pink. My absolute favourite flower at the moment has to be the hollyhocks with colours ranging from black/maroon to salmon and pink. I don't think they will last much longer, however, as their huge stalks are starting to fall over...
