I have enjoyed my visit via these photos and your Gallery, erika... the little house on the lake is  so pretty.... but I think the bear in the dining room is not so friendly to dinner guests as you are in your home! 

[Arykana]

I promise, won't invite any bear if you come to dinner

I promise, won't invite any bear if you come to dinner  

 That is very kind of you.... but I worry that bears invite themselves to dinner, and do not wait to  be asked  

I might be so busy looking at the wonderful flowers in your garden ( the big golden hemerocallis is a delight and the Iris you show in other threads are fabulous) that I have no time for dinner!

Lovely garden Erica

Ok, I will chain the bear, so you can wondering in the garden and will get some rose petals for dinner

I promise, won't invite any bear if you come to dinner  

 That is very knid of you.... but I worry that bears invite themselves to dinner, and do not wait to  be asked  

And worry about what the bears might decide to HAVE for dinner.

Erika, I think your Dragonfly in the last picture is the same as Robin showed the other day, from England..... http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=7219.msg201402#msg201402 ..... I never saw it before and now it appears twice in a few days, in England and Hungary. Wonderful things to learn here!

[Arykana]

yes, it looks like the same!
My garden is full with dragonflies, all color and size available

I want to share with you my rosemary bush it is 150 cm tall and 90 cm wide

Once, uppon the time I had buy a clematisz. She was very young and dried out at summer. Years passed, everybody forgot the clematisz. One morning I started weed my garden and see

[Lesley Cox]

Once settled in, Clematis can be amazingly tough and resilient. My own favourite is C. x Venosa 'Violacea' and each year it struggles to make its way through blackberry and other rubbish but never fails me. When I plant a new one I always now, sprinkle the planting hole with Trichoderma granules. I haven't lost one in years.
