Lombard Street

Lombard Street San Francisco

Today I wondered wether the bushes along Lombard Street
 in San Francisco are hydrangeas.
Looking through some pictures of the famous street
on the internet, I should find the answer,
was my idea.

And so I did
look through some pictures
on the internet.


Mmmmm.

Lombard Street

Could be hydrangeas

 Lombard Street

Oh yeah,
hydrangeas allright!

hortensia on Lombard Street

No doubt about it anymore now!!!

Love this colourcombination: fresh and light with some colourful touches.
And all shades of purple happen to be some of my favourite colours.

the garden

boeket cosmos
Found this colourful bouquet on this site posted as"garden eye candy".
We still have to wait for the first cosmos to bloom in our garden.
Won't take that long anymore though.
Took this picture this afternoon.

In the mean time,
we keep enjoying the hydrangeas in full bloom.

And these, as cosmos, also self-sown annuals!

Don't these pieces of furniture just look as if they stepped out of a fairytale?

Discovered them at kstudio today.

Nature combined with old cupboards and closets
and beautifully decorated by Kien Hertoghs !

Each piece is unique of course.

Recycledesign it's called.

Definitely an eyecatcher in the home!

Hydrangeas

hydrangea arborescens Annabelle

Can't overlook them in the garden these days,
their colorful flowerheads,
they demand all the attention.

Also they need watering a lot now.
Don't forget! Hydrangeas love water!

 
hydrangea macrophylla
hydrangea serrata

butterflies

This butterfly really liked my daughter today.
It sat on her arm over and over again.
"It tickles a bit"

Crochet Bouquet


Found on bespokecountry.
Should have had this book last winter!
I was obsessed with crocheting flowers then!
Hook and wool have disappeared into the closet again now
but
who knows
maybe next winter?
