Summer in the City



Yup, it's yellow and in your face and move it, move it and UHaul too


but if you go up high you can see that it's time for summer duds


Having got the urban bit over with....


I proceed to Union Square where there are scallions


and pink fish


 and glorious peonies in incongruous Home Depot buckets


What to chose? scabious and foxglove? a butterfly bush?


delphiniums


daisies


and so on and so on


wrapped in blue plastic


I bought a nasturtium to plant out on the street.
More summer stuff here.....

  6. Hello Elizabeth:
    This wonderfully colourful and vibrant post leaves us feeling even more dissatisfied that we have never, as yet, visited New York. How, reading this, we long to be transported there immediately and to find ourselves installed and riding around in one of those splendid, world famous yellow taxis.

  7. Oh what fabulous colors! You made me chuckle with that fish/peony duo. I truly do not think I have ever seen uncooked fish next to peonies before, although I did recently see a beautiful silvery bowl full of peonies at the center of a large circular table at which red snapper was served.
