My plans for posting earlier vanished like a dandelion in a windstorm—life got busy! But June’s here, blooming with promise, and I’m back with some flower power from our garden to hopefully brighten your day.
Here’s to a month full of petals, sunshine, and maybe a few less scheduling fails!

Happy Wednesday and a beautiful June, everyone!

Marina Kanavaki 
So much gorgeous 👌
Thank you very much! 🙏
Late to comment – but loving all the flowers (especially the cream oleander) as it is winter here in Australia! So joyous! Linda xx
No worries, there’s no ‘late’ here! 😉 Thanks so much for the visit and lovely words, Linda. Hope you’re enjoying winter! xoxo
oh thank you – it is VERY cold here (at least by Australian standards – brrr!!)
Gorgeous.
Thanks so much, Gigi! xoxoxoxo
So very beautiful. 🙂
💗🌸💗
Hey, I love the first and third especially.
xoxo
Ah, the hydrangea and the gardenia!
Thank you so much, Diana! xoxoxo
Hi Marina – Happy to know you are posting still and have some glorious florals for a Happy June – that creamy Oleander is delicious
(Hera is looking lovely as ever)
p.s. there is a broken link to your art show on the featured art page 😦
Ah, thank you, Laura! The scent of that Oleander is delicious too!
Hera sends tail wags and I send many hugs!
p.s. I couldn’t find that broken link. Could you please tell me where it is? I’ve completely changed the structure of the blog.
It’s twice on this page Marina
Ah, thank you!!!! Fixed it! xoxoxoxo
🙂
Bloomin’ bootiful! The first photo is….gorgeous…and that word is enough! Happy June! 🤗😊
Ah, merci!
Enjoy a beautiful June, my dear friend! 🙏🌸

Thank you, my dear 🐉 friend!
Month VI… unbelievable! 🙄
🙏🐉🙏
i KNOW, right? 🤣
💨🌪😯
⏳🪽🪰🪰🧐
😬⌛️🙄
Stunning, gorgeous, beautiful, and every adjective in between, Marina! And I love the photo of Hera! I have a similar one of Copper smelling a rose. Leave it to our furry family members to remind us to slow down and smell the blooms. Hugs and love! xoxoxoxo 💜💜
Awww, thank you, Lauren! Yes, they do have a way of showing us what’s really important in life, don’t they?!!!! Though I must admit that lately it’s Hera who’ll drag me back in the house from the garden! Once I step out, I forget to go back in! 🤣
Many more hugs back to you and love! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
That’s too funny, Marina, but Hera is so cute that I’d follow her inside the house anytime. 🙂 Have a fab day, dear friend! xoxoxoxoxo
Well, she lies down in a circle I made and waits patiently! She’s so sweet… You too, Lauren! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Aww, that is sweet, Marina. Give her a hug for me. We still miss Copper so much. Hugs to you too! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I will, Lauren …we’re always looking for an excuse for extra hugs! 😉
It’s no wonder, my dearest friend and I doubt that will change… maybe slightly with time. Copper was a sweet wonder…
Many more hugs to you! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
So pretty!
Thank you so much!
I love how the macro view of the flowers changes them into something else entirely!
Thank you, my dear Liz! I love taking closeups. They become almost abstract.
You’re welcome, Marina!
Although June brought us the first blast of heat and humidity for the season, you captured the true beauty of the season by those who take the time to look. Thank you … Yamas!
I know, it’s been a bit warm here too [30C] but we do get a soft breeze which is a blessing.
Thank you, my dear friend. Have a wonderful June!
Yamas!
You have one of the blessings of living at a higher altitude.
Not much higher but enough! 😉
Oh wow! Breathtaking dahlin Marina. Does anything smell better than a gardenia. This is paradise. Great shots.
xoxoxoxoxo
Thank you, dahlin! Gardenia scent is amazing… and Philadelphus (mock-orange) too! I wish I could share their scent too!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I wish you could , I’ll have to use my imagination. 🌺🌸🌺
Something between a gardenia and a night-blooming jasmine. 🌹❤️🌹
Ahhh, delicious. I have a huge night blooming jasmine out back… love it but the neighbors don’t. 😍🥹
Hard to believe that your neighbors don’t appreciate that scent!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
She asked to me cut it down. 🫤❤️🌺❤️🌺
Seriously?!!!!!! 😲😡 I hope you didn’t!!!!!!
It’s huge , I couldn’t if I tried! Lol
Great!!!!! 😂😘
xoxoxoxoxo
May the month of June
Find you well in tune.
Thank you, my friend! And you too!
Egads! What beauty you are living in.
Hera looks like she’s in flower power love.
Marina, I’m thrilled for you. Happy June!
xox🧽oxo🧽xox🧽oxo🧽xox🧽oxo🧽xox🧽oxo🧽xox🧽oxo🧽
Aw, thank you, dahlin! She’s the epitome of flower power love!
Though these are just details from my garden, I’m overjoyed seeing the garden grow and bloom after almost a year [unbelievable how time flies!]
Sending love and hugs
and tail wags and slobberies from the supervisor!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Yes, time is a long distance runner, a thief and more.
1 year congratulations! How’s the piano?
Love and hugs!

Mid August will be one year and you’re not going to believe it but we’re still waiting for it to be fixed! You remembered! They’re probably waiting to bring it on the anniversary of its …flight!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxoxo
Are you kidding? I can’t forget your piano. I felt the noise it must have made when it hit the ground.. a boom of all keys!
Let’s hope it arrives for your anniversary!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
It’s a sound I try to forget… honestly, painful!
Fingers crossed!
