flowerday at work

Thursdays are for flowers.

Every week fresh flowers at Villa Augustus.

My favorite day at work.

splendid zinnias

Look at the splendid color combination of pale orange and lilac. This stunning zinnia is by far my favorite summer flower of the season.

It's the Zinnia elegans Forecast, a mixture of single and double flowers in all kind of exotic colors of purple, pink, lilac, orange, salmon, yellow and vanilla shades.

A few days after picking, the colors fade a bit and the zinnias are even more spectacular.

These ones are growing in the Villa Augustus garden. Note to self; I will definitely sow the seeds in my own garden next year.

summer flowers

Summer flowers from the Villa Augustus garden.

Eversince I started working here 13 years ago, I have been picking so many flowers in this gorgeous garden, to arrange flower bouquets for the restaurant, hotel and limonaia.

Look at this flower field! Whenever I have a 'flowerday', i still get my jollies from picking abundant, colorful garden flowers.
