Musing with Max

July 22, 2013

FITH of July

I can't believe I actually have flowers to join Jane's party today considering the heat an no water situation, but luckily I do.



The hydrangeas just keep going which is surprising considering their very slow start this year.



The herbs however love this weather and are growing like mad so I can put together a happy little nosegay


of sage, oregano, mint and coreopsis for my bedside table.


And the last of the lacecaps for some cheer in the bathroom

Now let's go see what everyone else has brought.

    Oh I love your nosegay.

    And of course the hydrangeas.

    Doesn't your house feel cooler now? No?

    Any chicken left?

    Hydrangeas immediately cool down a room.

    Your herb posy (I thought those were marigolds in there) is inspired. Absolutely charming. I'm going to try it with some of my leggy herbs.

    Very sweet. I'm going out right now to pick some of my herbs for a little nosegay (lovely old term) - thank you for prompting me!

    Hola Amelia, descubrí las hortensias en mi viaje a Asturias y Galicia hace unos años y me enamoré de esta planta, la veía por todas partes y no sabía como se llamaba por que aquí en Andalucía no la había visto jamas a mis 43 años.
    El año pasado compré una pero se me ha secado, no se como cuidarla, ni cual es la mejor época para ella, en fin, me encantan las tuyas.

    Un beso

    Such pretty arrangements! The only thing doing really well in my garden right now is basil and I'm thinking that I might cut some to have inside as I am loving the herbs added to flower arrangements!

    Amelia... Your use of herbs is inspired! I had basil and did not even think of using it. The hydrangeas always bring a smile. I am so happy they are hanging on. The addition of yellow coreopsis is just the perfect compliment to the dusty greens. Very pretty containers, too!
