Despite on the Football World Cup (that started yesterday in Russia, particular several matches will be held in St. Petersburg) I prefer to live in my summer cottage, to garden or to knit sitting in the shade of a gazebo (sorry, fans, I'm not fond of football).
Rhododendrons continue their flowering, now the azaleas "Mandarin light" and "Northern light" blossom with bright flowers.
My new greenhouse turned out to be warm enough, so I constantly open the windows to ventilate it. There are Begonia red and white, Dahlias, 2 species of Pelargonium, Impatiens, Fuchsia and cuttings.

Fuchsia cuttings
Flowers of black and red currant, gooseberry have already faded and berries began to ripen. Can't wait when they get juicy, to taste them.
Hemerocallis popped its yellow flowers сlose to Physocarpus opulifolius 'Diabolo' with nice dark red leaves. I love Physocarpus for its leaves and cuttings that are well rooted at any time.
I've bought Petunias, that were named 'mix'. In reality they turned out to be dark blue and white. On the first photo is a white one, my favorite is this one, its petals remind velvet.
Last year when winter was awful I lost 6 clematises and now I grow new variety of clematis, it's 'Justa'. These days it put out first flowers:
Finally we have had rains and I'm not worrying about watering. The Canadian rose 'Therese Bognie' is in bloom, the very fragrance buds open every day, they last about 2-3 weeks and are tolerant to rain.
I don’t blame you preferring to be amongst the flowers rather than football crowds.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! It's true. Sue!
DeleteIf I could sit in your gazebo and hear Nightingales singing I would join you in an instant. Watching football on TV holds no appeal for me.
ReplyDeleteMe too,David. Who knows, maybe one day you could visit my garden and neighbor nightingale...
DeleteNadezda, your garden looks lovely so much better than any football competition! your clematis and roses are splendid, I've never seen clematis in my life here. My Autumnn has been very rainy and the soil remains so wet I can't plant anything, this pisses me off because I really want to work in my garden! I hope things get drier as winter approaches. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh, Manolo, your winter is wet and warm, our one was wet and icy last years. That is not good for plants anywhere. Clematis grows well in any tub or big pot in a verandah or greenhouse.
DeleteHugs!
Надежда,ваш сад великолепен!!У меня тоже две теплицы металлические,покрытые поликарбонатом.Теплые,,форточки постоянно открытые,для проветривания.
ReplyDeleteУ меня в саду сейчас буйно цветут пионы.Они (это 15 кустов)все розовые,так получилось.И мне нравится.Дикая ромашка,нивяник ,цветет,красиво!
Розы набрали цвет.Петуния в кашпо цветет.Люпин розовый цветет,люблю это растение.
Теплых выходных!
Спасибо, Надежда, дни на этой неделе обещают даже жаркие. Пионов у меня нет - им не нравится почва, могу себе представить, как они у вас прекрасны, розовые, душистые!
DeleteОтдыхайте на даче, лето у нас недолгое.
So much to enjoy in your garden dear Nadezda. I love your rose never heard about it before.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't like football too!! I am happy that I am not the only one (fun).
Have a wonderful weekend ahead.
Rosehugs Marijke
Us are a lot, Marijke :-)
DeleteThis Canadian rose is very hardy for my climate, it winters without any covering.
Hug!
You have such a beautiful garden Nadezda! Have a nice weekend
ReplyDeleteKiitos, dear Anne!
DeleteEstá todo precioso. Yo tengo demasiado trabajo en el jardín, la lluvia y el sol hace crecer las hierbas. Besitos.
ReplyDeleteOh, Teresa, las hierbas crecen como locas, siempre hay un trabajo en mi jardin tambien.
DeleteYour azalea are wonderful, Nadezda! They bloom here too. I hate football too ;)
ReplyDeleteYour new greenhouse looks great.
I wish you a wonderful weekend.
Marit, I always wait for azalea blooming, they are special, the 'Northern Light' is my favorite.
DeleteGood luck with rhododendrons!
Hi Nadezda, also I'm not a big football fan.
ReplyDeleteYour garden are gorgeous.
I especially loved the last photo with the bee in the flower.
Have a nice weekend.

We gardeners are like this bee, working here and there, do you agree, Maria?
DeleteHave a nice Sunday!
Lovely flowers in your garden. I like the Canadian rose very much. The velvet blue petunia is in my garden too! Love the deep colour and yes they look like velvet. Groetjes Hetty
ReplyDeleteGreat, Hetty, the velvet blue petunia grows in different parts of the world in the same time.
DeleteHappy weekend!

Hello Dear Nadezda!
ReplyDeleteYour garden and flowers are wonderful.
I like walking in your garden.
My Eric is a football fan.
At the moment, he is watching a match from your beautiful country.
Hugs and greetings.
Lucja
Oh, one football fan is here, good luck to Polish team!
DeleteI'm glad you like my garden in the middle of summer, dear Lucja,
happy new week!
Your garden is beautiful Nadezda and I especially love your Canadian rose 'Therese Bognie. The color on it is amazing! It is such a pleasure to visit as always. Also, thank you for your good wishes on the garden tour. It was a huge success and a wonderful day! I just posted some photos!
ReplyDeleteWow, congrats on your successful open garden day, Lee!
DeleteIt deserves because is such beautiful.
Rose 'Therese Bognie' is a happy find to me, its doesn't need any covering for winter.
Apparently it's a big thing to have the world cup in your country, but I also would stay at home and avoid the crowds. Gorgeous beautiful flowers. Yummy looking gooseberry.
ReplyDeleteCatmint, I did wanted to avoid the noisy crowds of fans in the city. I stay at the cottage in silence and flower fragrance around me.
DeleteI'd read news about World Cup here and it's enough for me.
Gooseberry ripens fast, I water them.
Happy new week!
So many lovely blooms, Nadezda! I just noticed this past week that my oldest clematis is dead, which makes me sad. I have no idea what caused it either; perhaps our winter killed it, too. I am not a football fan either, but I do enjoy baseball. Right now I'm watching more of it because it's too hot to be out in the garden:)
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity that your clematis is dead, Rose. Perhaps it was winter, I do think winter caused harm to my clematises as well.
DeleteI know weather is hot in your place, but it's summer :-)
Happy new week!
Wonderful garden, Nadezda, full of beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week!
Thank you, Tania!
DeleteYour flowers look beautiful! Love your gooseberries. Are they hard to grow?
ReplyDeleteNo, they aren't, Rebecca.
DeleteIt's enough to push a gooseberry branch in a soil in spring. It has no disease the only aphids.
Thanks for stopping by!
Hola Nadezda, tu jardín es un maravilloso espectaculo lleno de color, me encanta. Preciosas fotos. Besos.
ReplyDeleteGracias Lola!
