I’m indulging myself today by sharing seven pictures of very favourite subject for photography, which is a tangle of different flowers in full bloom. The more, the merrier! I hope you’ll like them too.

Salvia, Nepeta, Eryngium, Erigeron, Allium, Artemisia and Lavendula

Shared for the final day of Becky’s Seven for September challenge.

For anyone who is wondering which picture was taken in my sweetheart’s garden from my previous post, it was the one of the hydrants with a mix of real and metal succulents – a visual pun for those who make the hydrants / drought tolerant plants connection.

  1. The garden masses go well with the mass of syllables! In a million years, I’d never remember those botanical names, but I do love how their weight and rhythm do honor to the blooms. Is that blue echinacea in the third photo? As always, I love the doors, winding paths, and turrets that so often beckon in your photos. Very nice to find you here! You have ended September in proper aplomb! (And how often do you get to hear “aplomb”?)

  2. Some of my favorite flowers here! I aspire to creating a photogenic jumble of flowers but alas! I fear I haven’t yet achieved that. Jumble, yes. Photogenic? Not so much, lol.

  3. The Cothay Manor photo is my favourite, I just love that. And the following purple patch. I should try and replicate that one.
