But the sun did peek through from time to time and as these photographs taken on Thursday afternoon reveal there is still plenty of pink to be found in the garden.
The hydrangeas which have really brought the garden to life this year with their bright pink blooms are fading now but still beautiful.
The roses climbing up the house and garden walls and the standard roses in the flower beds are giving us one last hurrah!
The hardy fuschia has bloomed profusely all summer long despite being invaded by a climbing nasturtium or two.

How cute Fluer is. I am planting a hydrangea this week end. I hope it grows as beautiful as yours. My last one died. Here's hoping. Have a good week end.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I misspelled Fleur's name. She's still a cute pup.
ReplyDeleteYour garden must still give you so much pleasure, the flowers look lovely!
ReplyDeleteHow big Fleur is getting...she is beautiful, Maggie!
Have a wonderful weekend!

I hope summer returns for you Maggie, too early for it to disappear. It is 7.20pm and as I type it is still 30c here!
ReplyDeleteFluer has certainly grown. Fun to see shots of both Fluer and Ben. The pinks look lovely, Maggie. Nothing blooming here at the moment, not one thing!
ReplyDeleteHi Maggie it is 6,20 and I type this and the sun is shining after a morning full of rain the temp is 17.5. Bank holiday weekend here as you know that is when we have awful weather usually in the UK but I think we have had it most of the week!!
ReplyDeleteYour pink flowers are lovely, that is what I have roses, hydrangeas, fuchsia's and geraniums. My nasturtiums are orange!!
Happy pink Saturday and good weekend. I hope that you have an Indian Summer in September in Normandy ( Yes we are back there then!!) Love to you both, Jackie & Phil.x
Love the pink tongues! :-p

ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely place! And your dog is adorable.

I wish I had some of your wet stuff. It is terrible dry in Texas. Everything has burned up.
ReplyDeleteHi Maggie, your dogs are so beautiful, and I love their names. We are bracing for Hurricane Irene here on the East coast, NYC for the 1st time ever is having mandatory evacuations! I am a nervous wreck, but blogging keeps me calm and I am afraid we'll lose power and cable for a while, hope not! xo,
ReplyDeleteI love all the pink blooms! But have to admit, the pup caught my eye first! Is she a German Shepherd? We have a 10-month one ourselves, named Luna, and we love her so!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is still so lovely, with all the pink blooms! What a wonderful place for your doggies to run and chase and play! I'm having a GIVEAWAY here at Garden Of Daisies, so stop by when you have a chance.
ReplyDeleteA garden without pink is just not a garden to me. Your photos are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hydrangeas, Maggie. I love them as they become muted. This is my last pink Saturday, too. xo Jenny
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers .
ReplyDeleteHappy pink saturday!!
Adore your collage.

Love those pink tongues! It's good to see photos of your dogs, and Fleur is not a puppy anymore! I am afraid all my roses and hydrangeas are going to be damaged by Irene, she is just about to hit Boston, but most of the rain is heading west to NY state.
ReplyDeleteThe hydrangea is beautiful and the dogs are adorable! I love dogs and Fleur is a big girl!! Have a nice Sunday! Nice meeting you. FABBY
ReplyDeleteFleur is too cute. I had a male German Shepherd growing up. His name was Battle, and I loved that dog! Your pink hydrangeas are perfect for Pink Saturday!!!
