Per!

Everything is still growing, even more so the grass!

Just now I'm working a lot, both in Stockholm and my village so there is a lot of time spent on buses and trains.

So I really enjoy the few moments I have in my own garden, and are grateful everything still is growing and have a lot of flowers.

The only problem is that the grass growing in rapid speed just now, and I just don't have time to cut it :(

My goal to minimize grass and gravel is more on my mind than ever!

But everything else growing as well, and are looking good

This Yellow Calla Lily I have had for over 13 years in a pot, it seems to survive everything

 My fragant "Attar of Roses" Pelagonium was bought as a cutting for 3 years ago, never bloomed.

Here in Lövstabruk is it growing enormous and yesterday got it's first flowers

A LOT of my flowers are just going in to a second bloom for the summer :D

 Veronica & Magnus thriwing together

Fuchsias and Pelargoniums loving the late summer

And so does the Cucumber

Now I'm going to try to move the lawn, or call in a nearby farmer!

Have a great week, Per!

Garden Inspiration: Rosendal Garden, Stockholm in Late Summer Glory

In Stockholm there are many parks and gardens and one of my many favorites is Rosendal Garden on the island of Djurgården.

On the Island that was the former Royal hunting ground there is also the Wasa Museum, Gröna Lund amusement park, ABBA Museum,. Skansen museum and a lot of other intresting things to see and reastaurants to enjoy.

Rosendal Garden is a thriwing garden where they have Self Pic of flowers, a Garden Center, Organic produce shop & Bakery, Picnic grounds and a Excellent Café.

Just now is my favorite time there, late summer. The colours are amazing and the huge selection of Sunflowers are in its prime.

The other day I was there shortly for a Fika (Swedish for coffeebreak) at the Organic Café, and could not resist to take some photos!

So without further due, here is for You to enjoy, click on the photos to see them larger:

Rosendals Garden is a oasis in all seasons, but now is my favorite!

Another favorite in Stockholm, actually in the city in the neighborhood of Östermalm (the same block as the Historical Museum) is another oasis:

GYSINGE center for building preservation & Café

A great place for a City break!

Hope You Enjoyed, Per!
