So much to enjoy in a Summer garden.
Do you like green flowers? I love them and this patch of Nicotiana has done very well. The sweetness of its scent permeates the sun room, as it is planted just by the doors.
I thought my Peace rose had finished, but here is another lovely flower about to open.
A magazine came with a free pack of Sunflower seeds, a variety called Velvet Queen. She is spectacular.
My Summer garden is never complete without pots of all sorts full of Geraniums, Petunias and Diascias.
A little drift of pink Cosmos sways in the breeze. In our French garden we used to watch a tiny mouse run up the stems to the seed heads!
And finally, a tiny vase of Sweet peas, scenting my kitchen very beautifully.

Absolutely lovely! That sunflower is such a gorgeous colour and I really like the green nicotiana.
We haven't any sweetpeas in the garden this years -- will you take a sniff for me?
Oh your garden looks so lovely with all the flowers! Enjoy!
Love, Carolien
Your sunflower is magnificent and I didn't know nicotiana came in greens - it's beautiful. Everything is very lush, my garden is dried up and brown although I have a nice tub and baskets, a half dead night scented jasmine I repotted is rewarding me with new leaves and coming back to life.
Your garden is lovely, in spite of the heat you're having this summer. I had nicotiana in the garden at our old house. I had forgotten about it.
Flower season is happy season, isn't it? YOURS are gorgeous!
So many beautiful flowers! I like the unique color of the sunflower, and how wonderful that the seeds were free
gorgeous flowers!
Hi Elizabeth!Your garden is beautiful !I don't know green flowers. I have plants with no flowers. I like green, so I think green flowers are beautiful too.
Cheers, Sandra xXx
I have never seen a Velvet Queen sunflower, it's very stunning. I love sunflowers, they are one of my favorite things about summer, like watermelon, fresh tomatoes and cold ice tea :) I hope you are having a very sweet summer day :)
