Have you heard about the goddess of the rainbow from Greek mythology?  You could think about her often – just plant some irises in your garden.

The hanging clusters and the light sweet fragrance of wisteria amaze me during its flowering season.  We are lucky to have this woody climbing vine (Wisteria sinensis) over the arch of the entry to our courtyard.  Here are a few shots to give you a taste of its beauty.

Earlier, I mentioned here on the blog, that the tulip doesn’t occupy a very prominent place among my favorite flowers. However, from time to time I can hardly get enough of their beauty. I am astonished at their diversity, both in color and form. There are close to one hundred species and thousands of breeds of tulips.

I let these tulips speak for themselves. Hagyom, hogy ezek a tulipánok önmagukért beszéljenek.

Once it’s sprinkling rain, other times light breeze, and more and more often bright sunshine.  Flowers, flowering trees – whites, pinks, yellows, reds, blues, and purples.  The smell and the colors of spring.  Pictures instead of words.

The blanket of snow has been missing from Seattle gardens this January.  The weather is quite mild and of course there is rain.  In the gardens, there are trees with bare branches and occasional seed pods or dry leaves on them, providing food for visiting birds.

hydrangeas and chrysanthemums + colors and textures = beauty in the autumn garden

Reds, yellows, greens, browns.  A few unique autumn leaves that were worth noticing.

Intense but dreamy autumn colors. And a tiny house in our cherry tree, waiting for visitors.

Sometimes we just view the world through a window. November in our garden. Néha a világot csak ablakon keresztül látjuk.  November a kertünkben.

Wind and rain, late October and early November, and you have a perfect recipe for a thin or thicker, yellow, brown, red, or multicolor, crunchy and shiny, or wet and sticky formation on horizontal surfaces.  I call them leafy carpets.
