The last days I haven't had time to be so much in my garden, I´m working with Jewellery at the Auction House Bukowskis in Stockholm.

Colourful shadows in my garden

These days when the heat is balming here in Sweden do I enjoy the more shadowy part of my garden.

Often I find that there is more intresting plants here as well, and I do my best to add more, both wild and tame :D

Off course is it the Rhododendrons that is showing of at this time: come rain, come shine, they still look fantastic.

This one I planted for a few weeks ago, and loving it!

Lady's Mantle/Daggkåpa

I always found Ferns fascinating and cannot get enough of taking photos of the birth process.

Off course was my visit to Stewart Island in New Zealand a amazing moment, Ferns in all sizes and shapes, whole forrests with them

The new Bugle Ajuga Reptans/Revsuga start to get its first blue flowers, looking good against the dark leaves

My Astilboides/Parasollblad start to recover after freezing down a couple of times

Another favorite, the Hostas

Another Fern

And now it's the time for the Ramson/Ramslök to bloom and spread its mild fragance of onion

I hope You all have a great weekend, Per!
