| Peonies in my garden, June 2015 |
Signs
of summer. Well, it is June and I still have the
heating on, so that’s not such a good sign.
But in my garden! The daily changes in the plants are the signs of summer for
me. Take the strawberry plants: from a delicate white flower to a little ball in its
centre, to slowly growing into a real recognisable strawberry fruit, although
still yellowish. Is that not a little miracle in itself? To see the bright yellow flowers appear on the zucchini, the swelling
of the blackberries, the pink and lilac roses… and as a highlight to see the
many peonies open and be present in all their majesty. I love it!
Signs
of summer
Slowly
appearing in the garden
Sensual
Radiant
red
Ravishing
Titian red
Rebellious
red
Beetroot,
blood and radishes,
Nevertheless
sweet, as strawberries
Slowly
appearing in the garden
With
generosity, like the smile of a lover.
And a
longing heart
Heated,
redder than red, helpless suddenly
When She
appeared in my garden.
Signs of
summer
Bewildering peonies:
the Paeoniaceae
Gorgeous poppies:
the Papaverus orientalis and rhoeas
Zinging zestful
zinnias: the Zinnea peruviana
To name but
a few of them.
