Finally a sunny day after weeks of rain and
the delphinium is miraculously still standing!

I planted this dwarf cranes bill geranium because it presses
so beautifully for card making.

This lovely viola odorata was bought as a potted flower last summer,
but I decided to try planting it in the ground to see if it would survive the
Norwegian winter. I was thrilled to see that it did!

This is the Norwegian cloudberry which grows in a boggy area in the woods at the foot of our hill beside the lake. It’s relatively rare and if people have a patch it’s a well kept secret!! If you’re lucky enough to gather some, they’re frozen until Christmas and then you make Cloudberry cream – a dessert made with whipped cream, vanilla sugar and thawed cloudberries and served with Krumkake, a thin rolled wafer cone. Delicious!
Lastly, we have the blossoms shared by Marketing Manager, Kristy Rustay:
Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea)
Daylily
Gladiolus
Leek Blossom
And that wraps up our July 2011 Bloom day. Happy Weekend everyone!
