Garden Inheritance

One of the choices in this years Sumer Photography Scavenger Hunt is No. 15 Something Inherited. We have a family dahlia that originally came from my Grandparents garden. My mum has kept it going for many years. It is blood red in colour and no longer available. Here they are in her garden.


Mum has an eye for planting for effect and how great they look planted on mum’s suggestion by her gardener so that they can be seen through the arch.


This hollyhock has self seeded in her garden.


The individual flower is just right for No. 17. Something naturally round.


Finally here is mum in her garden today with her new post lockdown hairdo.

  2. Oh I like that red dahlia. Flowers are the gift that keep on giving. Your Mum has a pretty garden & that's a very good photo of her.

  3. Over the last few years, dahlias have become one of my favorite flowers. I have a red and white one this summer that is lovely. They have to be dug up and wintered inside in our climate. Some years we're very good about it, others not so much. Unlikely there'll ever be one that would be considered an inheritance.
