My cooking yesterday morning inspired me to get to the nursery and buy more herb plants to fill my kitchen garden. And of course, I couldn’t just buy herbs once I got there! This all meant that I spent time in my garden yesterday, and had to get my camera out too!

Tamara suggested I get some indigenous osteopermums for my garden, and I do actually have the plain ones already, but when I noticed these petal-spoon ones on special at the nursery, I just had to get some to add more purple to my garden.

And look what I noticed buzzing around my Felicia’s… check out the full pollen sacks on his legs!

Go to Sarcastic Mom’s blog for more Weekly Winners
The purple Osteospermum are gorgeous, that color is amazing. I don’t think I have seen that flower before.
Lovely the bee shot.
Absolutely breath-taking. Love the flowers! =)
Beautiful close ups! Love the flower!
Beautiful, Jenty!
wow – the photos are beautiful! … and good – you need time in the garden!
I don’t feel very inspired to do Weekly Winners but I shall have a go – feel drained after this week. The W family are doing fine – councelling has helped a lot. E, B and I went yesterday and stayed till late – traumatised but thankful they were not physically hurt…. we drank wine and celebrated life!
Oh your garden is a winner! Love, love, love that purple flower. Delish!
Your pictures are so great! I love them! That spoon petal flower is AWESOME! Wow. What a great purple color. Too cool for words!
I KNOW from now on, you’re going to do this to me every week. I’m green with envy, not only because of yous stunning photography, but Spring is coming in your part of the world, while my part of the world is whithering!!! Lovely Jeanette!!!
