"Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile...
Oh, I love my Rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
You and me we go in style..."
(Neil Diamond, 1970.)

My mother used to listen to this song when I was a toddler and I would try to singalong.

Hot Pink spray roses. 🌱🌹

One of the compact varieties of Helenium, possibly Helenium 'Fuego' from the Mariachi series, featuring daisy-like yellow, orange, and red petals surrounding dark central cones. 🌱🏵 A couple of Mexican sunflowers appear in the foreground.

This variety of Helenium has not reappeared in the public parks this year.

This floral display for Chelsea In Bloom, September 2021, featured several different colours of hydrangea flowers. 🌱🪻

At a later date, I aim to post close-up photos of the flowers. For now, I've decided to post this one which shows a part of the display lit up at dusk.

In 2021, Chelsea In Bloom took place in the month of September. It was delayed due to the health related restrictions in place that year.

This display was one of the most popular of that show. It was difficult to take photos of it without swarms of people.

The fragrant marigold flowers reminded me of the markets in India. 🌱🏵🐘

Thank you to everyone for the love shown for my last post.

This photo of Black-eyed Susan flowers (Rudbeckia, likely the 'Goldsturm' variety), taken two years ago, is another representation of late summer beauty in the garden. 🌱🌼

In recent years, I have been appreciating them more than ever before.

Late summer beauty, featuring the Michaelmas daisy, either Eurybia × herveyi or a similar Symphyotrichum / aster species. Generally and commonly called aster flowers of course. 🌱🌸

Rosa 'Angel Eyes'. A Rosa persica hybrid. 🌱🌹

"Look into his angel eyes
One look and you're hypnotised
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angel eyes."

My last post on BlueSky had 1.2K likes in less than 24 hours. It's been overwhelming and humbling to see so many comments and likes and I can only say thank you to all who stopped by to see the photo, like it, and comment on it.

Usually I am happy with a few likes, knowing that some people like the photos I post. Therefore the reaction to my last post has completely taken me by surprise.

Here's a photo from Chelsea In Bloom 2024 for your viewing pleasure.

Thank you once again. 🌱🌸💮🏵🌼

Remembering Maria Callas today, on her death anniversary. Her voice is one of the few that can move my cold heart.

The recent rainfall has invigorated the flower beds of the parks in London. This particular one has a renewed burst of summer flowers before the season fades away.
