Week of Flowers 2021 – Day One

Posted on November 30, 2021 by Eliza Waters

I’m joining Cathy at Words and Herbs blog for her second annual Week of Flowers, where we share daily posts of flowers and gardens to give a dose of cheer to those in northern climes, where the short days this time of year are often dark and dreary. It does my heart good to look back to the green and flowery profusion of the summer months. Open to all, feel free to join in by clicking the link above, or simply to see links to what others are sharing.

    Great idea to revisit summer as we approach the darkest weeks of the year.

    What an excellent idea to showcase flowers from the past season. This section of your garden looks very pretty.

    It is so lovely to see your garden again Eliza! I missed it this summer. It looks as lush and lovely as ever. 😃 At this time of year it is hard to believe our gardens are still there, ready to show up again next summer. Thanks for joining in!

    A lovely memory of what was as well as what will be.

    What a super border Eliza! Particularly that pale yellow hemerocallis and the echinacea. Yes – encouragement that these good things are around the corner!

    With any luck, we’ll get some gray, cold days before Christmas. I noticed just today that the bedding pansies, cyclamen, and snapdragons are going in around town — what a difference! Have you had snow yet? You might have said, and I either missed it or forgot. Those pale yellow lilies are gorgeous.

      Thank you, Linda. I never wish for cold, gray days, but I can imagine you might however. 🙂 We’ve had a dusting of snow, but nothing lasting. The ground needs to freeze first and that usually happens around mid-Dec. most years. Snow falling after that usually lasts until March, but our winters are getting warmer, so melting occurs along with the arrival of new snow. I enjoy the milder winters naturally!

    With the winds whipping here and a threat of heavy snow next Wednesday your garden will be missed as bad as mine.

    Thank you for the beautiful splash of brightness on the cold, grey and very wet day here in Northern England.
