I volunteer walk a Dog for a lady who loves to Garden. This time of year her Garden is bursting with colour.

Each year I admire her placement of the flowers and how the colours pop against the grey of the wall.

I do not know enough of the flower names but I shall name some as I go through the post.

Below is a purple rose with such a dainty, sweet smell. The variety is called Blue For You, the buds start off a deep pink but bloom into this lovely pale Purple.

Next up we have her Hostas, unfortunately these are not in bloom yet however they produce white or faint Purple/Pink flowers. They are rather large and each leaf is bigger than my hand easily.

Below is a Foxglove, these self seed and are popping up everywhere around here Garden. They like a shady environment so the walls of the Garden are a perfect habitat for this flower. These are great for pollinating insects aswell.

Here is a big basket of flowers filled with all sorts, I couldn't name them however it is a centre piece as you walk up through the steps and into the Garden itself. As you can see in the below photos it is so vibrant and welcoming.

Wow 😍🤗 She has some mad gardening skills. LOVE all the flowers, especially the purple ones and those Foxgloves. Absolutely beautiful.

She really does doesnt she!

The purple ones are my favourite as well. Such a lovely colour.

This is such an amazing piece of artistry! Simply breathtaking to look at. Your friend has a true green thumb and her choice of placement shows off the artist in here.

The colors compliment each other, the height of the stems and the way they grow make for a stunning addition to the stone.

I just love your post! Thank you for sharing it here, apologies for being so late!

Yeah, definitely. It's so vibrant and welcoming. There's something Peaceful about flowers. They always give me a sense of happiness.

The woman has such a colourful collection. When I buy a home. Planting flowers will be a great hobby for me.

Thank you so much I will pass on your compliments she will be most pleased = D

I hope you enjoy it as much as she does.

You're welcome. Thanks for passing on the compliment and thanks for good wishes.
