Oh My Goodness

OMG #1

No explanation required.

OMG #2
It's a monster!


OMG #3
Bill has just been in to tell me that the willy wagtails are re-decorating........ Surely not!


The art of the garden path.
A few flicks of the hose and we all got the idea.





No, we're not putting a concrete path through the native bed (heaven forbid!), but we have decided to plant some nodding saltbush and ruby saltbush tubestock that were kindly given to us, around the pathway which will be gouged out like a snowplough! 
Normal leaf litter pathway.



The workers
The electricians were here all day Friday getting work done to connect power to the shed. They also connected a ceiling fan in the Garden Room.
They will be back tomorrow, along with the painter etc (that means I'm not sure who else but believe me, there'll be someone !)

Flynn's Advent calendar goodies all wrapped and ready to be sent.


The view through our bathroom window on Friday morning.
The Iceberg rose is doing it's job again.

Garden surveillance
New hollyhock colours.






I wonder what this will look like???
I bought it at the Garden of St Erth.
It's called Erodium Cotswold Cream(I just liked the name).
So exciting checking each day to see whether it has flowered.


Same with this lilium.......looks like it is ready to burst!


The perfume in the rose garden last night was amazing after such a warm day, especially around Albertine. 


I couldn't help noticing how perfect the greyish foliage of the wormwood looked next to the pink blooms of Brother Cadfael.

This one is called Artemisia absinthium. 
It is different from the other wormwood we have.
In fact I like it much better than the more common one. 
I must remember to take some cuttings of it. 

This native ground cover called  scaevola is blooming like crazy in the native beds.  
It covers itself in masses of violet fan- shaped flowers in Spring and Summer and looks amazing.
 I must take cuttings of it too.

Loving my biro. $3 treat for myself.

Mmmm...there's that circle thing going on again!

OMG #4

No explanation required......*sigh*
Bless you little man.
