Pithari - a new centrepiece for the garden.

This post "Passiflora" was originally uploaded by Tyra Hallsénius Lindhe in the blog Tyra's Garden

Last week I paid a visit to one best garden centres we have here in Stockholm - Slottsträdgården Ulriksdal. My Garden-budget is limited at the moment so I had to choose carefully where to put my money. After carefully looking around for an hour or so I made my decision… I must say that I got home with some really nice things. One old fashioned Geranium in pale pink ‘Prince Nicolai’ and this Passiflora- Passion flower, isn’t just wonderful? I don’t know why but I think of aliens when I look at it.

I also found a new centrepiece for my yard - A handmade antique traditional terracotta jar from Cyprus, now this one really blow the budget but I just could leave without it. Placed in the stone yard just outside the greenhouse door it has now found its new home and every morning when I enter the garden I smile - it is to beautiful !

PITHARI - Like a jewel in the yard.

 My "new" eye-catcher... an antique, handmade, earthenware jar from Cyprus. 

Happy Gardening!

I wish you all a lovely weekend/ Tyra 

GBBD - November in Tyra's Garden

GBBD - November

The flowers are getting hard to find these days, after several night with frost where are just some very brave roses that are still in bloom outside, the 'Lucia' and the explorer from Canada 'John Davis'. In the greenhouse I have more flowering blooms and even a gigantic chili plant, however the fruits are still green but I hope they will turn to the colour of red for Christmas that would be appropriate.

Pansy Violaceae in the greenhouse

the last rose...

Just a few treasures still flowering in my garden and greenhouse on this November GBBD. You find more GBBD posts from all over the world if you visit Carol at May Dream Gardens

Garden Bloggers' Blooms Day - Potager & Greenhouse

October started out with harsh winds and some tough cold days with frost at night. It is slowing down in the garden, the harvest is thinning out although I still find some late 'treasures' in the potager. It's Garden Bloggers Bloom Day once again and thanks to Carol of May Dreams Gardens, we get to see all the lovely in gardens around the world and what is 'in floribus' just now, fascinating isn't it.

One of the last roses...I think, you never know

Auricula

This Auricula is generally a spring flower, but this Primula auricula one just wanted to get some fresh autumn air.


Geramiums in the greenhouse


The Cichorium has been 'in floribus' in my potager since June



Gerbera in the greenhouse, I think a wonderful splash of colour ...


Kaprifol

This Honeysuckle is a cutting I took from the mother plant in July and it spreads a wonderful fragance in the greenhouse at the moment.



Here comes the sun tadadada... (I'm singing the Beatles song) Calendula officinalis is another 'sun' in the potager, self sown, I like that, here in good company with the parsley.

and the last picture is of my monk in the potager 'Franciscus cupani'



That's all folks!
