Picture time!

for Wordless Wednesday and bloghops various!

Normally, our seafront gardens are laid out in formal beds of summer flowers. This year, however, it was decided to do something different and celebrate the beauty of wildflowers and the bees, butterflies and creatures that are drawn to them.

Sadly, however, it has not gone down well with many of the traditionalists that inhabit our seaside town and it’s received quite a lot of negative criticism.

I for one, think it’s a fabulous idea. How about you?

    Best to let them have their say & ignore them 💛

    I plan on making my flower beds miniature wildflower meadows when my garden is finished, I think they’re stunning!

      It’s nice to see more wildflower beds in people’s gardens these days. I’m sure you’ll enjoy yours.

    And do the folks all look just like they did thirty years ago?

      Many of the miserable so-and-so’s look like drooping weeds!

    I think they’re lovely – and if they are drawing bees and butterflies, that’s charming!! People are so funny about change.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings July 6, 2023 / 14:44

      Absolutely. I really don’t get where they are coming from.

    There are some beautiful and colorful flowers in those gardens. Most people don’t adapt well to change and they fight it. They also won’t admit they may be wrong and actually like the new idea.

    What a riot of colors! We’ve had some amazing wildflower blooms here this year after our winter rains. The super bloom in Carrizo Plain reminded me of the color and variety in your photos (here’s a video I put together about it https://youtu.be/Ryobxmxl1F8)
