Cozy Geraniums: in full bloom

I had lunch with a friend a couple weeks ago, a fellow flower fiend. And one who also loves and appreciates Geraniums, especially the smell (she even once bought me a fabulous Dyptique candle with the scent of Geranium which I loved!).

It seems it would be awhile before she would be able to actually see my garden so I decided to create this little visual aid and bring my garden to her!

I loved how all the petals looked and with the addition of the Mexican sage leave and mint leaves. The garden has filled in tremendously from the dirt patch it used to be. Here is what it looks like today!

Wish I had a better camera to really capture how many blooms there are! It looks much much better in person with lots and lots of flowers and maybe soon there might even be some stubborn roses! I am quite proud of it as this used to be first the dirt patch followed then by an unsuccessful tomato garden. Now it seems to be very happy and looks like it will for a very long time!

Check out the Nasturtiums in my patio garden I transplanted from around the yard. They have gone crazy and look beautiful! I love how they climb like a beautiful vine! Nasturtiums are an edible flower but I have yet to throw them into a salad. Not sure if Marc is ready for that…! Might have to wait for a special occasion but can’t wait too long, these blooms only last for so long and will be gone with the hot heat of Summer. Certainly am enjoying them now and the good news is they will be back year after year!
