…..walking through the neighbourhood this week I spotted the biggest dahlia I’ve ever seen

….more flowers from my cottage neighbour’s garden

….back at the cottage
I finally made it up to my cottage this past week. One of the reason why my blog has been quiet for the last four days is because I have no internet connection up there but I did manage to take numerous photos of flowers and my surroundings. Here is the first of the flowers that I captured from my neighbour’s garden.

….the property at Casa Rosa in Assisi, Italy was covered in lavender and rosemary


…..I’m discovering that rhododendrons come in numerous varieties
….along the walls in Bologna masses of white and pink flowers seemed grow from the brickwork


…I first saw this tall regal beauty at the Peggy Guggenheim Gallery in Venice

….another beauty I discovered at our apartment in Florence

….these were everywhere in Italy
I first noticed them when we went to Florence and the driveway to our apartment had a bush by the gate.
