Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files. Huge thanks to Cie who gave me this wonderful Sunday Selections image.
The meme was then continued by River at Drifting through life. Sadly she has now stepped aside (though she will join us some weeks), and I have accepted the mantle.
The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent. Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to me. Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.
I usually run with a theme. This week? More spring. Mostly from our garden where more comes out each day. Including the weeds. I have been neglecting the garden and it shows but the bones are still there.
Less talk and an explosion of colour. And scent which you will have to imagine.
Over the coming weeks we have both Floriade and Tulip Top Gardens to look forward to - so you might get 'Springed' out. Apologies in advance.
I hope your week to come is lovely, whatever the season.
No worries re being 'Springed out' especially if you can send the scent through too??!! Amazing the tulips are ready to burst forth ... enjoy the coming of Spring before the heat arrives - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteHilary Melton-Butcher: How I wish that I could send the scent down the interwebs. It is truly delicious.
DeleteVery beautiful flowers. Enjoy the new week. I hope Batty is doing well.
ReplyDeleteRasmaSandra: Thank you. Batty is still doing really well. He has had his breakfast and retired back to bed with himself.
DeleteRiver Fairchild - No such thing as Springed out. I’m looking forward to your upcoming excursions, and your own garden is full of beauty. The years of labor definitely show.
ReplyDeleteGive the furry overlords some love from me and double for yourself. Wishing you a peaceful week/finding a dragon to care for.
River Fairchild: I hope to get into the garden in a little to do some much needed ripping and tearing. How I wish I did have a dragon in my life - though they would perhaps be even more demanding that cats. Peaceful week? Sadly not a happening thing. A funeral and physio tomorrow, a very early morning walk for LL the day after... Hugs.
DeleteSo beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAutumn here. I bought an orange, grapefruit, lemon, lime, and cinnamon today to dry them and make potpourri. Cloves too.
🍂
Sandi: Your potpourri sounds delicious. I struggle with many of them when artificial scents are added.
DeleteFull on Autumn by me. I enjoyed your spring collection. Be back to see more.
ReplyDeleteThe Happy Whisk: Enjoy your autumn - which is another of my favourite seasons.
Delete❤️
DeleteThe Happy Whisk: Thank you.
DeleteStill summer here! I love seeing the spring flowers, especially since most of the flowers are gone here now and we are in the over abundance of green (at least for a few more weeks)
ReplyDeleteAnne in the kitchen: I am surprised that after the temperatures you have been having you are surrounded by green. The end of summer is a time of dust often here.
DeleteIt’s wonderful to see how Sunday Selections continues to celebrate the beauty of previously unseen photos. Your spring-themed post, showcasing the vibrant colors from your garden, sounds delightful—even with the added challenge of weeds! The explosion of color and scent must be a feast for the senses. Thank you for sharing these glimpses of your garden’s renewal. Hi wishing you a happy weekend. I just shared a new post please read: https://www.melodyjacob.com/2024/09/how-to-style-prepreworks-stretchy-slim-round-neck-knit-vest.html.
ReplyDeleteMELODY JACOB: I do like spring - though I could do without the weeds. I will head over to your post in a bit.
DeleteI could never get "Springed" out, Sue! Your garden is vibrant with beauty. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteFundy Blue: You might regret saying that you cannot get 'springed out'. Thank you.
DeleteThe flowers are lovely, and there's no such thing as "too much spring" for me! The gardens are fading here, so I'm happy to get a glimpse of things to come.
ReplyDeleteDiane Henders: Everywhere I look there are more things coming into bloom and/or needing attention. It is an exciting, vibrant and exhausting time of the year.
DeleteNice! Here we are looking forward to a week of much cooler weather and some fall fun.
ReplyDeleteAlex J. Cavanaugh: Hooray for cooler weather. What do you have planned for your fall fun?
DeleteThe flowers are just looking so pretty
ReplyDeleteroentare: Thank you. I have just rescued your comment from the spam monster.
DeleteI could never be springed out, especially when it's fall here. Our weather in almost perfect today, with cooler weather in the forecast. I don't mind. Sending you and the rest lots of love.
ReplyDeleteDJan: I am glad that your weather is just about perfect - ours is pretty good too. Have a wonderful week ahead.
DeleteI get completely mesmerised by the beauty and scents of flowers like those from your garden, displayed in your post, regardless of season.
ReplyDeleteDUTA; Thank you. I am v fond of our garden - and that of other people's too (which require less work from me).
DeleteTulips on their way. Latest with them spring is springing. Enjoy, dear Sue.
ReplyDeleteSean Jeating: Some of the tulips are out - and I am enjoying them.
DeleteOur colors are about gone. We'll be using yours to remember.
ReplyDeleteMike: I do like being able to see the weather and the wonders from two seasons simultaneously.
DeleteIt is always so good for us when you visit Floriade.
ReplyDeleteAndrew: We will visit Floriade early this year. The word is that many of the flowers are already in full bloom.
DeleteSpring always looks good, no matter whose it is.
ReplyDeleteJoanne Noragon: It does doesn't it?
DeleteI love all your daffodils and the tulips are a bit early aren't they? I see grape hyacinth there and star flowers too. I saw only one bloom on my star flowers, probably there were more but I didn't go outside much for a while. Too much pollen which is easing off now though the jasmine is still going strong.
ReplyDeleteRiver: I am sorry that the pollen is giving you grief. It is grasses later in the season that cause me problems. The tulips are nearly out here, and as I said to Andrew I believe that they are out at Floriade (which isn't yet open to the public).
DeleteBeautiful flowers EC, some of my favourite.
ReplyDeleteFloriade, that is a magnificent show of colour and we never got to visit it, however, we had calendars of the paper with each month a beautiful colourful photo from Floriade.
Margaret D: Thank you. Floriade is always worth seeing but I think that Tulip Top Gardens (just down the road) is even better. We will go to both.
DeleteWith images like these, I'm not missing a thing--- Hugs from way over here.
ReplyDeleteBill: What a lovely thing to say. Hugs received and reciprocated.
DeleteI am completely in awe of your orchids and your tulips. Your garden is looking very, very colorful. I look forward to seeing photos from Floriade and Tulip Top Gardens. I never get enough of your fabulous photos.
ReplyDeleteBleubeard and Elizabeth: At Floriade and Tulip Top Gardens it would be impossible not to take good photos. Lots and lots of eye candy.
DeleteA bright and cheery way to start my day, Sue. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDavid M. Gascoigne: It is relatively early here and the garden was a bright and cheery start to my day too.
DeleteThank you for filling our day with color. And our imaginary aroma detectors are working just fine. Spring is suddenly in the air - despite our heat and humidity. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWally Jones: You are still getting heat and humidity? Bleah.
DeleteI don't mind to be springed out!!! At all!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.
Caterina: Watch this space. There will be lots of spring blooms and colour to be seen.
DeleteWow! what colours! Thank you for this explosion. I look forward to more.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte (MotherOwl): There will be more. Lots more.
DeleteDear EC
ReplyDeleteI could never be Spring-ed out! I love to see all the Spring flowers and blossom, especially as we are approaching Autumn now. Bring on the Spring cavalcade of colour!
Have a calm and lovely week
Best wishes
Ellie
Ellie Foster: Thank you. It is an exciting time of year. This week will be busy but the spring colour will help. You have a great week too.
DeleteSuch flowers in your garden. As long something is blooming, I said it's win. I can't even keep plants alive so.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day
lissa: There are some plants I cannot keep alive - so I no longer try. And mourn.
DeleteOrchid is my birth flower and I love them. I think they are so pretty. Anything purple catches my eye these days. Thanks for sharing the pretty flowers. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteMary Kirkland: I will keep an eye out for purple flowers for you at Floriade and Tulip Top Gardens.
DeleteBeautiful strong blossoms! And interesting photos of them! I love your angles and could never be over-springed by photos like these dear. Thank you so much
ReplyDeleteCloudia: Thank you. Most of these photos were taken from the flower's height rather than my own.
DeleteSuch lovely vivid photos!
ReplyDeleteEggs in My Pocket: Welcome and thank you.
DeleteYour spring always makes me smile, EC. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteMarie Smith: I am glad to hear that. You have a great week too.
DeleteBring on the beautiful flowers. They always cheer me up. Fall is in the air in Canada and some of the trees are already changing colors.
ReplyDeleteSorry for being away from visiting blogs and posting. It has been a busier summer than usual for me this year.
Take care and enjoy all the delicate beauties.
Hugs,
Julia
Julia: Welcome back, it is lovely to see you again. Life takes precedence and I hope your summer was good as well as busy.
DeleteI would love to participate, but am not seeing a linky to click on. Can you tell me how to link to you?
ReplyDeleteGreat-Granny Grandma: We would love you to join us. I have never set up a linky thing. If you do join us, please leave a comment saying that you have, and where to find your post so we can find and visit you. If you mention the meme and this blog on your post that would also be a help.
DeleteGreat-Granny Grandma: I see you have joined us and I love your selections.
DeleteIt's Floriade time! For some reason, your blog vanished from my reader.
ReplyDeleteStrayer: Floriade starts at the end of this week. I have disappeared from your reader? Another blogger glitch.
DeleteThese are great and I will certainly look forward to your other photos.
ReplyDeleteDeniseinVA: Thank you. Lots and lots of photos.
DeleteGlorious spring! Who can ask for more?
ReplyDeletegigi-hawaii: Thank you. It is a lovely time of the year here.
DeleteHi EC,
ReplyDeleteI wish it were spring here - summer is about to depart and autumn is now here sadly.
:o)
Cheers
PM
Plastic Mancunian: I am always glad to see the last of summer and like Autumn too. I know that you don't. And are joined by many.
DeleteLovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week.
Greetings orvokki
orvokki: Thank you - you have a lovely week too.
DeleteDelightful!
ReplyDeletemessymimi: I do love Spring.
DeleteLovely flowers, I especially enjoyed seeing the daffodils, they are so cheery.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Lowcarb team member ~Jan: Daffodils are sunshine on stalks aren't they?
