Cities have pretty skies, too, especially along coast lines.
Arboretum Proteas
I'm sorry to say that I've not touched my knitting. This is actually the coolest day we've had since we returned so that's my excuse. I'm sprawling out with my books - The Lady's #1 Detective Agency re-read - and working in the garden.
Garden Report:
There are Lots and LOTS of new tiny succulent starts to minister to, and I dead headed the big Apricot Nectar Grandaflora (Happily, it LIVED!) and cleared away a very aggressive upstart of a scented geranium that the birds must have planted last fall. I want it but I don't want it where it is. I'll transplant it this coming winter. It was headed for the Grandflora with a speed reserved for Giant Kelp! You just can't have something going for a treasured rose! You just have to put a stop to that level of floral aggro! The rose struggles enough.
Speaking of roses, I saw an unusually pretty rose in Trescony Park community garden this month. Trescony is called a Kid's Park and it really is a lovely small park for the little ones.
I'm sore all over. Gardening and Fitness. Chocolate here I come!

| This beautifully shaped rose starts out bright yellow Then it fades to this lovely white with pink edges. |

That middle protea, the one the bees loved, looks like a painting from early 20th century, celebrating Progress! and Electricity! Maybe by Sonia Delauney.
ReplyDeleteYes! Georgia (O'Keeffe) comes to mind as well. But definitely the colors of Sonia. Good Eye! :-)
