Hello and welcome to see what was blooming in our garden in Emilia-Romagna at the end of July, during our visit in Italy. You may remember that it was very warm in Central and Southern Europe in those weeks. Our garden and those of our neighbours were dreaming of some rain.
Oleanders (Nerium), crape myrtles (Lagerstroemia), bignonias, and rose mallows (Hibiscus syriacus) were the superstars of the moment.
(I never knew crape myrtles are called "kutriot" in Finnish. Thank you, Wikipedia!)
It's said that Emilia-Romagna's viticultural heritage dates back as far as the seventh century BC.
With this sunrise view from our bedroom balcony I wish you all a lovely day!

Kaunista. Upea maisema ikkunasta.
VastaaPoistaI enjoyed seeing all the photos of your summer travels, the flowers and scenery are all beautiful. I didn't realize it was so hot in Europe this summer.
VastaaPoistaThank you for these wonderful photos. The flowers and the scenery are so beautiful.
VastaaPoistaSara, you have your garden in Italy, don't you? You're lucky to spent some times in good climate :))
VastaaPoistaLove your flowers especially oleander, years ago I had it as an indoor plant.
Lovely flowers Sara. Great photos. Have a blessed day. Madeline
VastaaPoistaSo nice to enjoy these midsummer blooms, as our summer is now winding down and the gardens are looking rather bedraggled... Summer is MUCH too short...
VastaaPoistaLovely Italian garden flowers - the view from your window must have been gorgeous!

VastaaPoistaMuistan mikä elämys oli aikanaan nähdä "oikeita" viinirypäleitä kasvamassa käynnöksessä kun olin nähnyt vain kaupan rypäleitä :)
Hi, Sara! Photos are fantastic as usual. But the last one..... It is something special. Wish I can wake up one morning and have the same view out from my window.
VastaaPoistaThanks you for these lovely pictures.
Lovely place in beautiful Italy!
VastaaPoistaSuch lovely flowers! It is always interesting to hear different names for plants isn't it! xx
VastaaPoistaWhat a beautiful treat you've got here. If in the morning this kind of garden and view is what I will see, then my day will just be complete.
VastaaPoistaWhat a wonderful view of the sunrise from your bedroom balcony and beautiful flowers.
