We went to the "Passiflorahoeve" in Harskamp today.

www.passiflorahoeve.nl
There is a butterfly garden to stroll through.

Every 2 weeks 200 cocoons come in from

far away lands to be born here!

Quite an experience...

...to see them upclose!

The Passion Flower Farm has the biggest collection of

Passion Flowers in Europe!
A few suit The Netherlands climate..
...while many do not!

There are 425 different kinds!

Wow!

Flowers for the bees!
So, so many different kinds to see!

An attractive Butterfly Garden

with a sitting area covered in Campsis,

a climbing Trumpet Flower

Another idea to take home!

A Corn field in Soest

55 days until Autumn

Signs of Summer!
Would love to grow these at the allotment!

Just wait until next year!

These too!

It's time for the Hibiscus' to bloom!
4 x Hydrangea Quercifolia, with its Oak leaf shaped leaves,
are now growing in the front garden at Buitenzorg!
A Summer evening sky

Storm on the way?

I don't think it matters to her!

Well if at first you don't succeed...
...glue, glue again!

5 high! Now on to the next idea!

Plates stacked with glasses inbetween!

Too much sun for the photo!

A cooler start to the day so off to the allotment!

Bees are busy in the Pumpkin Patch!

The plot is weeded!
Looks good after all those very warm days!
I don't think that I'll be making any raised beds.
If this summer is a sign of more warm summers
to come than this plot will do just fine!
Sweet Corn!
Looking forward to a corn roast!
Spaghetti Squash!

?????
An idea...

...gone higher!

Just have to go straighter

when I glue it all together!!!

" In the summer time when the weather is fine..."

Around 9 pm and 25C
High of 30C today!
So started gardening after 8 pm.
The Lavender harvest is in!

Planted these here yesterday...

..and those there tonight.

Hermiocalis "Frans Hals"

17C tonight, 27C tomorrow

with chances of thunder showers!
