Lilioceris lilii, Scarlett lily beetle
The Scarlet lily beetle.Lilioceris lilii. LiljebaggenThe Scarlet lily beetle in (unfortunately) Tyra´s GardenRed alert! The Scarlet lily beetle is really a menace to lily lovers. They are quite easy to spot but a little bit tricky to pick.

Tyras Garden, May
Tyras Garden in May, the Syringa vulgaris starts to bloom. This is a lovely time in the garden. Everything looks quite neat and tidy. I love the sun and I really enjoy sunshine, especially from the shade. This is a perfect spot to sit and philosophize, to admire and observe. This is a very old garden seat that I have to repair each year but I love it still. My brother on visit, with "freetime

The grass is always greener......
Yes, that may be so, but it is beyond any doubt more flower power in mine. I do need to cut the lawn today but the dilemma of the day is "Who is going to live and who is going to die" This is going to be worse than the French revolution. No, I will try to save my darlings and make a "lawn in bloom" to save the capsules with valuable seeds.....there is going to be a lot of paths and islands of

Rhubarbs, books and tulips....a perfect weekend
Weekend at Åkerby, the summerhouse.I had a wonderful weekend in Åkerby. The tulips were in full bloom and I harvest the first Rhubarbs for the year. In the "summerhouse" there isn´t much to do, that is the point with it. You go there, just to have a peaceful and quiet weekend. The profound silence is rare to find these days but in Åkerby you have it. We use say that when you go there it takes at
