MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

{Dahlia with Hibiscus and Clerodendrum Ugandese}

We all LOVE to have some fresh cut flowers from our own garden...
Even if it means only a few of them!
On our kitchen table... on June 12.
To the left you see a beautiful Dahlia, to the right a Hibiscus syriacus 'Blushing Bride' that came straight from Our Life in Italy!
In the center, top and bottom is our special Clerodendrum Ugandese or Blue Butterfly Bush.
Husband Pieter also captured them with his camera...
Yes, that Hibiscus syriacus 'Blushing Bride' has a very special story which you can read from link below blog, about our life in Italy.
We are thrilled that we still have it after all those years!
And again and you can see the sunshine that twinkles in the tiny vase.
The Clerodendrum Ugandese came from +Logee's Greenhouses in Connecticut
The Clerodendrum Ugandese or Blue Butterfly Bush flower a bit more in detail...

Together they just made a beautiful and very sweet vase!

Do you love to bring in some home grown flowers?

Our climate is very harsh so we never yield a lot...

Thanks for your visit!

  1. They are beautiful! One I love to grow, but... well may be just me, I lost interest on all my old hobbies... gardening, reading, knitting, cooking! I don't understand myself now, how much I can do? And can I make this old dream come true? LOL... will write more when I make it! Thank you for all your kind words Mariette and encouragement! Best blog friends! :-)

  8. Dearest Mariette,
    Your dahlia and hibiscus with the butterfly bush adding a splash of contrast are beautiful and elegant!
    I am regrowing my dahlias. They won't bloom unless we have a warm fall, but at least the toes will be healthy.
    Enjoy the day.......*s*

  9. Your flowers are beautiful, Mariette! What gentle colors on dahlia and hibiscus. The blue butterfly bush flowers do look like butterflies flying around the flowers :-) Love the twinkle in the vase! Have a wonderful new week, Mariette!

  10. Mariette - Yes, I do love to bring them indoors, and of course our Louisiana climate is harsh, too. My hydrangeas were not happy while I was on vacation (no rain) and are struggling. But my gardenias are thriving - and I love their sweet scent. <3

  11. Dear Mariette, your flowers are so pretty together in the arrangement - such delicate colors and form. I have never seen the blue butterfly flower, it is so pretty. It is wonderful to have the hibiscus as a remembrance of your special time in Italy, too. Gardening does have its challenges, especially with a harsh climate. We have had so little sunshine this summer, but this week is all sunshine and I am so happy! It was very gloomy :( Soon it will be autumn....my favorite time of year! Hugs xo Karen

  18. Der Hibiscus ist auch ein Traum, liebe Mariette! Und der bezeichnende Name! - Ich habe einen blauen und einen weißen. Der Blaue steht in Vollblüte, der Weiße beginnt gerade erst. Beide auch wundervoll. Und das Schöne, der Weiße hat ganz viele Ableger gebildet. Bin gespannt, wie diese blühen werden. Alle werde ich nicht behalten können.

    Und auch hier ist diese schöne Dahlie! :-)

    Alles Liebe nochmals
    Sara
