As an urban dweller, I don’t have an actual garden of my own.
But luckily, as a blogger, I can still have a virtual garden.
Come take a stroll with me… let me show you these purple flowers that grow here.
These photos are from a little walk one cloudy day this past June. The flowers (lupines?) were simply growing by the side of the road, with no one paying much attention to them.
But in my imagination, I could see an endless green field dotted with purple… with sunlight, butterflies and blue skies… white cotton candy clouds… So that’s what I took with me, when I planted these in my online garden.
I hope you enjoy them, too.

Beautiful virtual but also real garden. Those lupines are very popular in Patagonia! They seem to enjoy not so warm climates!

Yes! There’s a wonderful children’s book called “Miss Rumphius” written by the late Barbara Cooney in 1982, about a fictional character who finds a way to make the world more beautiful by planting lupine! Check it out. Love your photos.

Beautifully said. That’s what we have, little bloggardens. I hope I’ll be better at keeping my blog going. When I had a garden, the pest (snails!) ate all the crops, I lost joy and the weeds won.

I’m not great at gardening either, but I like to think it’s just due to lack of practise! 😉

Beautiful photographs TSMS. I love lupines. They grow all over Canada too – wild and free. There are also cultivated varieties that are pink or white.

They really are quite pretty flowers, when you stop to look at them 🙂 I saw some pink wild ones, too, but there weren’t nearly as many. Thanks for commenting, Alison! 🙂

The flowers look like lupins. We have a lot of them in our garden in a variety of colours. Many people have them in gardens in the UK. but they do grow wild in some places, too. Super photos of them.

Thanks, Millie! I love flowers but know quite little about any of them, so I was wondering if these wild lupines are the same as the ones you see in gardens… so now I know!

Online garden – NO WEEDS! Lupine are beautiful and I had one in my garden long ago – I should try growing it again. They are simply stunning.

The concept of a virtual online garden was a fantastic idea for a blog post – whilst reading it felt so real and to be able to connect to the images too helped – thanks for the read x
