Oh, daisy, are all those flowers in bloom right now? What a sight. You have wonderful roses and non-roses. Really like your pool!

And thanks for showing Teasing Georgia--I've been thinking about getting her.

Daisy, words almost fail me when looking at your flowery paradise, overlooking the ocean no less. You are a true gardener, and I say that with great admiration, since I can do no more than plop down easy to grow roses and companion plants and hope for the best. I particularly admire that people like you and roselee can grow beautiful flowers in pots while for me it becomes their final resting place in short order. The picture of the fish is priceless. Keep posting!

Kate, The photos with the iris and the one with the foxgloves , were taken last month. All the others were taken last Friday.
Thank-you Gean and Inga. I am glad you enjoy the photos.
Ingrid, I started out with 12 assorted goldfish. There is now about 40!!! They are all very tame and will take food from my fingers. Our cat leaves them alone, thank goodness. She has a habit of sitting on the side of the pond and allowing her tail to drop into the water. The fish come and nibble her tail, whereupon she looks around in surprise and flicks her tail at them.
The pots are in the front alongside the village road. They just have temporary pretties in them this year, whilst I am growing some shrubs from seed.

Edenic!

I heard quite a while ago that to glimpse a red dragonfly means immense good luck.

I think this is the first time I've been through photos (both sets of your photos) that I've been speachless. It's like a fairytale. I'd definitely pay to go walk through your gardens. The gorgeous blue mediterranian sea in the backdrop, his and her blue and pink/red dragonflies (WOW). Every single detail, every color combination, every rose/non rose combination, the stones, walkways, steps. It is a magical place you have created. You are a magician.
