This Salvia has flowered and flowered.

The pink spikes still glowing – even in October.

Nicandra physalodes – the shoo-fly plant.

It is an annual that I grow for these wonderful seed heads

That have graced the garden nearly all summer.

Like this Dahlia – The Turning Year has been neglected for the past 8 months – if anyone is still there ….

While I may not post every day – I will try to be more frequent

Thankfully the year has turned once again …

I have left behind my January funk

Today I was greeted by these Iris “Katherine Hodgkin”

Simply lovely.

It is so icy that the seagulls are on the lookout for food in the garden.

Usually they don’t visit our garden

Sadly, last night the lunar eclipse was hidden by cloud.

To-night, the moon peeped out briefly.

Bright blessing to you all.

Pennisetum villosum

Esther is sad that no images have been here for a while

Thank you for the nudge Esther -

This is especially for you.

The dark annual poppy (Papaver somniferum) has gently self seeded in the garden

A grey and blustery day today

Followed by high winds and wet rain this evening.

Feels like November – but the flowers remind me that it is still summer.
