Aren’t these blue delphiniums absolutely breathtaking? Delphiniums are some of my favorite flowers but they are close to impossible to grow here in Austin. Larkspur is an alternative but, of course, it is much less showy. I have never seen delphiniums grown so beautifully anywhere else than in England where this photo was taken. Gardeners there often go through the labor intensive process of staking each flower stalk individually because the blooms break easily in strong winds and heavy rains. Are any of you my dear followers growing delphiniums? What is your experience with them? One more day to go and then it is the weekend, again. I hope you are having a wonderful one. I definitely plan to be out in the garden. There is lots to do in the moment. One job I urgently need to tackle is pruning our two big white flowering crepe myrtles. Have you planned to accomplish any specific garden jobs this weekend, too? #organicgardendreams #delphinium #delphiniums #delphiniumsofinstagram #blueflowers #blueflower #bluebloom #blueblooms #gardening #cottagegarden #cottagegardens #cottagegardenstyle #gardendesign #gardeninspiration #gardeninspo #romanticgarden #gardendreams #gardensofinstagram #dreamgarden #dreamgardens #beautifulgarden #beautifulgardens #showyflowers #showyblooms #gardenphotography #gardenphoto (at England) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaHmgyOOt7Q/?utm_medium=tumblr

Garden goals! The Courts Garden, in Holt, Wiltshire, England. Another garden that my husband and I visited in England a long time ago and that I liked very much. It has everything that you expect from a great English garden: Interestingly and lushly planted garden beds, a great green lawn, small boxwood hedges, topiaries, big yew hedges, and wonderful mature trees in the background. I find it so inspiring to look at a garden like this and think about which elements would work in and elevate my own garden. I definitely want lushly planted garden beds and I am working hard to achieve that goal. But I am also contemplating to plant boxwoods and trim them into round spheres in my garden in Austin. Boxwoods seem to do well here and add so much structure and interest to the garden. I have never grown them and have a lot of respect for the work it might require to keep them looking good, aka constant pruning. Do any of you grow boxwood in your garden? And if so, do you grow them in the form of hedges, spheres or even fancy topiaries? Do you find it a lot of work to keep them looking neat? Happy weekend everyone! And for the gardeners under you, I hope you find some time to get out and garden! 🇺🇦💙💛🕊🌻💔 #organicgardendreams #gardengoals #gardeninspiration #gardeninspo #gardensofinstagram #englishgarden #englishgardens #boxwood #topiaries #gardendreams #dreamgardens #england #gardendesign #gardening #garden #gardens #thecourtsgarden #courtsgarden #courtsgardenwiltshire #publicgarden #publicgardens #englishcountryside #beautifulgarden #beautifulgardens (at Holt, Wiltshire, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc-fBwNOtJm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Sunflower Monday! 🌻 At the beginning of the summer we envisioned the gardens of 1750 House to be filled with big patches of 6’foot tall red sunflowers swaying in the breeze. But between the mischievous chipmunks and the hungry cutworms, only 5 out of 140 seeds planted have made it to bloom time. I totally get it. We are all hungry these days for delightful things. We may not have a field full of flowers this year but the chipmunks couldn’t look more marvelously plump and happy. ♥️ Next spring, we’ll try a different approach but in the meantime, I couldn’t be more excited to see this first-of-the-five bloom:) 🌻 . . . . #sunflower #gardendreams #gardeninglife #redsunflower #grownfromseed https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch2jrMTOyrW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
