Hello Wildflowers and welcome back to my cottage garden down here on the wild south east coast of Australia. Autumn has arrived and it's time to gather up the last of my summer annuals and begin seed selecting for the next season, carefully choosing colours to match my dream aesthetic. In this episode, we'll also be working on a new prompt for our art journals together, painting a bouquet of our favourite flowers - I hope you'll love it xox

I’m so glad your channel came up in my “quirky cottages” search. I love your content but also the mood you create. Are you a storyteller because listening to you is like listening to a magical, fairytale bedtime story! Thank you!

Blessings to all of us living in our own time and space ❤ The outside world can be daunting and overwhelming for people like us, too fast paced and unkind. Your videos however, create a place of quiet and peace for us to rest our weary heads. So thank you 💐

[@theramblingrose_]

Thank you so much, Holly! I am so glad I can bring that sense of quiet and peace to others ❤xx

Hi Nancy! Thank you for creating another beautiful and creative content, I enjoy watching them. Btw, it is almost summer here in the US so therefore excited to get my garden started, you've inspired me. Please keep the content coming.

[@theramblingrose_]

Oh wonderful!! I can't wait to hear all about your garden adventures - it's the best fun! ❤xx

[@naturelover6309]

Sweet Nancy, thank you for sharing your beautiful and colorful garden! Your positive and warm personality really inspires me to create a lovely garden of my own. Time to plant zinnia 😊

[@theramblingrose_]

You are so welcome for the inspiration! What colour zinnias will you plant?? ❤xx

[@junipergardener6711]

Your dahlias and all your flowers are beautiful. Unfortunately with very little rain for a few weeks now ours have not done well this season even with us watering. Not to worry there is always the following season. Happy gardening! 🌼

[@theramblingrose_]

That's right, there's always a new season on the horizon, and another chance at beautiful blooms in the garden ❤xx

Oh what a fine video,you are entering fall,a time of gentle capture to see you through the winter times(although your winters are hardly like ours,opposite Globeside😅) It is prime spring majick here,I just harvested my soul brothers and sisters,the Dandelions,they are happy and resilient,not minding one bit at the snipping of flowers,to be placed in tea caddies. They happily grow back,a few days later,stronger than ever. I make a tea(Tisane,actually) with these lovely flowers. A more yellow brew you have never seen,outside a urine test lab🤣🤣🤣🤣 These tiny dandelion nuggets blend well with all teas,they add that green grassy note to a brew,which lends itself to my region,as it gets warmer. As the summer will enter the room,the dandelions begin to dwell on their autumn fate,they do this,unlike the other flowers who enjoy the NOW. Dandelions are a bit paranoid,as they are seen as weed. They do not like this perception,as they have so much to give. 🥰

[@theramblingrose_]

Dandelions should never be seen as weeds, they are tough little burst of sunshine that spring forth in even the harshest conditions - what's not to love about their cheerful faces?! ❤xx

[@charlesperez9976]

There are poisons sprayed on them around here,people hate them,they try to kill them,so that their sad manicured lawn looks like a welcome mat. I treasure my Dandelions!!

Thank you so much and a blessed Samhain to you too! The job is great so far, and yes, it is creative. It's for a wonderful non-profit that helps improve the lives of Australia's First Nations people, so I feel extremely honoured that my work has such meaning and purpose ❤xx

Greetings Dear Heart , I actually sigh deeply throughout Your videos , blessings to You for sharing , there are so many You could have Your own Florer shop!! , Your Garden looks absolutely stunning still and reminds me of those Dutch paintings of Flowers in various stages including the dead and dying and I love the symbolism of them ... happy Samhain to You and Yours from Me and Mine ! Edit, ok I am freaking myself out , write that before watching the whole thing , You started speaking about Other Artists painting Flowers ...love that and watching You paint it is so soothing! EDIT 2 and then You spoke of Flower Farm or sending Seeds out( giggle)

[@theramblingrose_]

Aha you are just intuiting my words as you're watching... reading my mind. I really did wonder if Monet could have painted one of those flowers, once upon a time... I suppose they all do come from a common ancestor!? Thanks for watching, dear heart ❤xx

[@theMermaidRhonda]

I was thinking of you today...and here you are! We're heading into summer here, the sun not setting until nearly 8:30 and we're already having days in the 80s. The honeysuckle bush in my backyard is full of blooms and it smells so good! Happy to see you..

[@theramblingrose_]

Rhonda, my sweet friend! Thank you for stopping by and filling my imagination with the scent of honeysuckle. Sending much love from Australia ❤xx

[@itsmewende]

The garden is still looking beautiful, such soft calming colors, love the apricot cosmos. Spring is about to become summer here, sown seeds are ready for their place in the garden. You guys have a lovely end to the week and weekend. P.S., just read the comment about the job, sounds like a wonderful opportunity.

[@theramblingrose_]

Oh yes, I'm really enjoying the new role and I agree - those Apricotta Cosmos are just divine!

[@susancronin3443]

Awesome video your garden must give you such delight and grounding you with the Earth magic that exudes from your gorgeous flowers ❤❤

[@theramblingrose_]

You're right, Susan! I often sit out on the back table and have breakfast just watching the birds and bees in my garden, and the clouds pass by ❤xx

Hi Nancy, In the space of only one year!! Your garden is so advanced. You have a special touch with artistic gardening. May I ask a question? I have just signed a contract for my new (old) home. So excited!! It needs a new roof and guttering. I'm wondering if you have noticed with your black colorbond roof does it get hotter in summer? I'm trying to decide between black or dark green roof and trim with white cladding on walls. I'm just concerned I'm going to be too hot in summer with a black roof. Thankyou in advance 🙏 Happy Autumn 🍂🍁

[@theramblingrose_]

Hmmm... that's a great question! This is such an old house with high ceilings and the rooms at the front face away from the sun... so it never really gets too hot?! So I'm sure it depends on the aspect of the house more than anything?? ❤xx

[@sylvain123]

@@theramblingrose_ Thankyou for your reply Nancy. I think I'm going to go with the darkest green colourbond roof. Settlement on my house is tomorrow! It's an old house needing some work, but it's all mine. Can't wait to move in. I am so happy for you Nancy. Congratulations. May you be blessed with a long and happy marriage💖🌸🌷

It looks like a Salvia to me, and it looks like this one comes with silver foliage. Salvias are one of my all-time favourites in the garden, so reliable and so beautiful. I have two whites in my own patch. 😊

[@theramblingrose_]

They are so beautiful, aren't they? I first came to love them in my Tiny Hideaway garden, my first garden! They are a white variety of Salvia called 'Velour' or 'Velvet', I think? ❤xx

[@theramblingrose_]

Yes, you are right! And they are one of my favourite cottage garden flowers! They pair so beautifully with lavender and rosemary too ❤xx
