Cottage Garden

Today we are in the cottage garden......and here is my cottage garden quilt too.....
........a bucket of sweet peas to enjoy......gorgeous scent and love all the colours.....
.......i love to photograph my quilts on the picket fence......the cottage garden is full of flowers now, lots of tall frothy ones too like lupins, delphiniums, campanula and ammi magus.......
.......also a lot of rose campion has self seeded which looks pretty but i will have to pull a few out soon or it will take over.......
........a small wigwam of bright sweet peas next to the picket fence......
..........and here are some everlasting sweet peas which stay in the ground and grow back but have no scent....they are bright and colourful though and prolific too......
...........white roses climbing next to the arbour....they smell so sweet......
..........and pink roses.......lots of them....
.....arranging flowers last weekend when we had two birthday celebrations here, my younger daughter's and mine......so wonderful to see my lovely family again.......
.......flower power....crazy daisies grown from seed, a packet i picked up because i remembered them from childhood....super bright and neon.....

Oh it's so bright and cheerful! I always say that right? LOVE your white picket fence and what a beautiful backdrop for your gorgeous quilt! the flowers are so stunning.. I can't think of enough descriptive words. I want to take each of your photos and print them out and frame them (but I won't) as the colors are so inspiring. I'm still working towards getting that white picket fence such as yours... I have my flower bed all edged and planted with strawberries, a rose and some dahlias.. and a row of blueberries in pots now. They are all waiting for that picket fence. Coming soon I hope!!! take care..... Marilyn
