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.
