Allium-2 Versions

An allium flower tries to steal the spotlight from the red ranuculus in the background.

Either way they’re both alright shots.

Independent Lady

It’s a bug’s life. I don’t see ladybugs often in the garden. but when I do I will always immortalize them with my camera.

April Blooms

Spring is here and my garden is blooming. I am trying to make it more colourful. I bought some rose trees and I can’t wait to see it fully bloom.

“The reappearance of the light is the same as the survival of the soul.”

“April is the kindest month. April gets you out of your head and out working in the garden.”
– Marty Rubin

Egyptian star

The beautiful Egyptian star flower is native to Eastern Africa and the Arabian peninsula. It has long-lasting blooms. I planted it in the summer and it is still flowering in November.

Unexpected Visitor/Απροσδόκητος Επισκέπτης

This beautiful species of butterfly is called ‘scarce swallowtail’ ( Iphiclides podalirius). It is native to Greece. It is rarely seen in my garden. I was lucky to capture it at the right time.

Αυτό το όμορφο είδος πεταλούδας ονομάζεται «σπάνια χελιδονουρά» (Iphiclides podalirius). Είναι ενδημική στην Ελλάδα. Σπάνια εμφανίζεται στον κήπο μου. Είχα την τύχη να το απαθανατίσω την κατάλληλη στιγμή

Magical Garden/Μαγικος Κηπος

Some pictures of my garden in the spring before the intense Greek heatwave stopped the garden from blooming. I started a little greenhouse, and it wan’t as successful as I expected it to be. Maybe if the month of June wasn’t so hot I would have had better results. :((

Butterfly in Flight/H Πεταλούδα εν Πτήσει

A lucky shot of a butterfly, flying toward a lavender flower to pollinate.

Μια τυχερή λήψη μιας πεταλούδας, που πετάει προς ένα άνθος λεβάντας για να επικονιάσει.

Daffodils/Ναρκισσοι

Daffodils symbolize rebirth and resilience. Plant the bulbs in the late fall and you will be rewarded with beautiful yellow flowers in the early spring.

“With each daffodil, nature writes a love letter to the world, promising the beauty of fresh starts.” – Emily Dickinson

Οι νάρκισσοι συμβολίζουν την αναγέννηση και την ανθεκτικότητα. Φυτέψτε τους βολβούς στα τέλη του φθινοπώρου και θα ανταμειφθείτε με όμορφα κίτρινα λουλούδια στις αρχές της άνοιξης.

«Με κάθε νάρκισσο, η φύση γράφει ένα γράμμα αγάπης στον κόσμο, υποσχόμενος την ομορφιά μιας νέας αρχής». – Έμιλυ Ντίκινσον
