Tea Tuesday: My Nonna's Garden

Today's Tea Tuesday is a bit different then what I'll be normally doing (I think), and that is showing pictures of my Nonna's garden.
My Nonna has this beautiful garden at the front of her house, that when I was little it reminded me of one of my favourite books as a child, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. There were stepping stones leading everywhere, getting lost in a sea of beautiful flowers.
Of course as a child I thought it was never ending and the biggest garden I've ever seen, now that I'm an adult, I still love it but it's not as big as I thought.

I went over a few weeks ago and took pictures of some of the flowers she had, and the reason why I'm posting this is because I just wanted to share something that always puts a smile to my face. Also a memory of my childhood.
Plus she puts so much TLC (tender loving care) into her flowers, and coming from a person who doesn't do any gardening at all, I can appreciate the work and love she does.
And no, I'm not trying to win favours by doing this, I'm already her favourite grandchild. For crying out loud, I gave her a great-grandchild. Brownie points right there.

Warning: I don't know the name of these flowers, to be honest I'm the worst gardener in the world. If you know what these flowers are please leave a comment below. If I wasn't lazy, I should just ask my Nonna.



These photos are taken with my iPhone 4 camera.
Surprisingly they turned out not bad.
No filters were added.
