sundays flowers

unable to resist I have cut my neighbors grass with my 'new' lawnmower, these are pictures I took this morning.
geraniums unamed but very healthy. living behind the shed so it can take over there if it keeps growing proper bluebell, non scripta
aquliega
aquilegia
a pink geranium, which was a cutting, its label blew away so no name and I thought it was geum but have re-identified it as Sigrun said not!!

Hi!

I borrowed your counter thingie idea and added one to my blog too. It's cool seeing where in the world you are reaching out to!
Also thanks for adding my blog to your list - very sweet! I'll do the same (you might want to look again at the spelling...).

Joy!

Wildside, it was funny, my neighbor stood and watched me, her kids had a go but no, she did not want to cut any grass. I am about to plant some flowers in her garden too.
Patsy and Norene, thankyou, these are flowers that are managing to come up by themselves after being planted over the last couple of years.
Michael, sorry! spelling corrected!

Claire, your photos are very good. I like the geranium phaeum very much, and have a lot of it. Where do you buy it in Britain? Gardencenter?

Sigrun, I bought this at an 'open garden', where somebody opens thier garden to the public once a year for charity, and they often sell cuttings or seedlings. I plnated it last year , it was just a small cutting so I hope it will get a lot bigger.

I went to a lot of these last year and got some nice plants.

Claire, are you shure, the pink geum is not a geranium??

Sigrun, no I am not sure, it was a cutting somebody gave me, I will have to check its leaves and flowers against a reference book
