With the seeds Only gardeners can sow; The secrets Only gardeners know - Learned over years, Through perseverance, Trial and error. Weary limbs, Fair and foul Weather; Oh, but how It will be worth it. For she shall have flowers. -excerpt from The Gardener, ‘Salt of the Earth’, from LIFE UNEARTHED. copyright Jana Synková . . . #greygardener #forsheshallhaveflowers #roses #excessivelydivertedbyflowers #anthophile #inhergarden #gardeningtexas #gardening #flowersarealwaysagoodidea #gardenlife #mytexasgarden #thegardeninmay #botanical #zone8bgardening #casualcountrygarden #cottagegarden #countryliving #slowflowers #countrygardener #gardenersworld #fleurs #rosesandlarkspur #agardenersdiary #blomma #rosesintherain #forsheshallhaveflowers #raindropsonroses
. There are many tired gardeners but I’ve seldom met old gardeners. I know many elderly gardeners but the majority are young at heart. Gardening simply does not allow one to be mentally old, because too many hopes and dreams are yet to be realized. The one absolute of gardeners is faith. Regardless of how bad past gardens have been, every gardener believes that next year’s will be better. It is easy to age when there is nothing to believe in, nothing to hope for, gardeners, however, simply refuse to grow up. - Allan Armitage . . . #greygardener #gardenlife #agardenersdiary #lifeamongtheflowers #nothingisordinary #anthophile #rosesandlarkspur #inhergarden #poetryandpetals #thegardeninspring #flora #botanical #metexasgarden #gardeningtexas #gardening #excessivelydivertedbyflowers #zone8bgardener #larkspur #thislittlemoment #thegardeninmay #casualcountrygarden #gardenstyle #gardenideas #countrygarden #ihavethisthingwithflowers #gardenersworld #centraltexasgardener #calmversation #flowersandotherstories #flowerfridays

The strip of earth between the fig trees and the cliffs is anchored by these deep, peachy roses and lavender. You can see all of the surrounding foliage that is the Larkspurs that will soon be in flower. I’d say that the roses are having a beautiful beginning of their 2024 season! . . . #greygardener #forsheshallhaveflowers #weusejohnandbobs #zone8bgardener #homeandgarden #countryliving #anthophile #countrygarden #casualcountrygarden #mytexasgarden #gardeningtexas #botanical #centraltexasgardener #rosesandlarkspur #lifeamongtheflowers #gardenlife #gardenstyle #excessivelydivertedbyflowers #gardenphotography #flowersandotherstories #seasonspoetry #beautyofstillmoments #inhergarden #agardenersdiary #blooooms #thegardeninseasons
It is always safe to dream of spring. For it is sure to come; and if it be not just as we have pictured it, it will be infinitely sweeter. ― L.M.

detail from Georgia O’Keefe’s “White Rose with Larkspur No. 2” oil on canvas, 1927 on display at the museum of fine arts, Boston. As I get older, I’ve really come to love her paintings more and more. Her style of minimalist detailed views of nature is gorgeous. I will post the full painting in my story 🤍 #details #oilpaintings #artists #georgiaokeeffe #minimal #minimalist #subtle #texture #colorpalette #coolcolors #rosepetals #larkspur #rosesandlarkspur #bostonmfa #mfaboston #boston #museum #lightacademia #aesthetic #subtlebeauty #peaceful #tranquility #inspiration #inspire #inspired #softcolors #oils #paintings #famousart #artworks 🤍
“...why not let nature show you a few things? Cutting grass and pulling weeds can be a way of life... Lilacs on a bush are better than orchids. And dandelions and devil grass are better! Why? Because they bend you over and turn you away from all the people and the town for a little while and sweat you and get you down where you remember you got a nose again. And when you're all to yourself that way, you're really yourself for a little while; you get to thinking things through, alone. Gardening is the handiest excuse for being a philosopher. Nobody guesses, nobody accuses, nobody knows, but there you are, Plato in the peonies, Socrates force-growing his own hemlock. A man toting a sack of blood manure across his lawn is kin to Atlas letting the world spin easy on his shoulder. As Samuel Spaudling, Esquire, once said, 'Dig in the earth, delve in the soul.' Spin those mower blades, Bill, and walk in the spray of the Fountain of Youth.” ― Ray Bradbury . . . #greygardener #englishroses #inhergarden #rosesandlarkspur #gardenlife #gardenstyle #theblissofthis #embracetheseason #mygarden #anthophile #selfsowers #poetryofsimplethings #littlegardenstories #gardening #botanical #embracingslowerlife #lifeamongtheflowers #thislittlemoment #slowliving #gardeningtexas #mytexasgarden #zone8bgardener #homeandgarden #houseandgarden #downacountryroad #countryliving #countrygarden #wilding #cottagegarden #nothingisordinary
