Blossoms on our balcony

Just a few shots from our balcony...where all the flowers I planted this spring are really taking root and growing nicely. I just love the little ones (Stiefmuetterchen) for which I don't know the english name. They have so many different colors and look like they've been decorated by hand.
Also, a few weeks ago I purchased a lounge chair, foldable (!), which will allow us to enjoy our balcony even more. The orange circular sunumbrella makes for such a nice contrast to the blue sky. I will have to post a picture next time we have it open.

The new lounge chair...


The phlox has come to life in a miraculous way, as it looked dead all winter!






So pretty! I love the slightly purple flowers!


The purple daisies have always done well in the german climate. They bloomed way into October last year.

These are really special as they combine purple, white and orange all in one..






Some climbing peas, which are supposed to bloom in pink red and white... I can't wait!


Nursery with chilli plants and various other climbing vines we raised from seeds.

The lavender is blooming!


A giant wasp has found a liking to our bamboo, banister covering. They chew off the outside and probably use the paste for constructing their hive. So far, I hope that they are not building it anywhere close...

All of the photos from the last month or so are so beautiful! I LOVE the flowers, you are obviously much better at seed-germination than I am :)
I'm also glad to see Carlo getting some time together with his dad...
