Some of the last flowers blooming before the final killer frost

As I have mentioned several times before, we have a lovely garden.

But I am always finding interesting plants along our neighbors' fence.

These bright red-orange flowers looked like this about a week or so ago. I don't know what they are called. If anyone can tell me what their name is in English, Latin or Swedish, I would be very grateful. According to Jakill from Jean's Musings, these flowers are nasturtiums. (Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me! Best wishes from Anna on October 14th 2009)

Yes they were this bright! I will miss the lovely greens and bright reds, oranges and pinks of spring and summer.

On the other hand, I can make jewellery as cheery as summer-flowers all fall and winter.

Please come visit again and see!

More inspiration from the garden:



Summer is drawing to a close, here in Sweden. But there are still some roses left in the garden! Look at these Peace roses. They are so incredibly orange-red in colour!

Tuesday-Where do I find inspiration?





Where can I find inspiration? If I just start looking around I make discoveries. I happen to live in a town with a feeling for flowers. At least during the warmer half of the year, there are these amazing floral arrangements all over the town of Norrkoping. This huge group is to be found not far from my daughter's pre-school. Why are we so blessed here? I have some theories, but I'll get back to them later.
