Yesterday’s sunset featured some pretty moments.

Autumn color touches the leaves of Boston ivy that covers the Sylvia hotel

Sunset viewed from ʔəy̓əlxən, also known as English Bay beach

Not your usual rose, but one that I love.

Rosa x odorata 'Virdiflora' or the green rose 🌹

Grows happily in our working garden and perfect for a green foil in the vase.

Rosa 'Little Rambler' does what it says on the tin, compact + repeat flowering - sure a more exciting name could have been used

However, it's a fantastic rose for where you want the rambling rose look but don't have the space.

Tough call..... I would say can they be returned to me, and as you cannot be sure they haven't been used, you are going to sell them and give the money to a local animal welfare charity?

I believe the airpods can be legally traded?

Sorry to burst the bubble, but any time I read 'walk into the light' then my mind jumps straight to the poltergeist scene 🤣

Guess who's an eighties child 😉

Also a real joy in spring, where it's totally bedecked with some single white blossom.

The leaves are what really identifies this Malus (and the tiny golden apples).

Gets great autumn colour unlike many crab apples.

Good morning everyone.

Early morning sunlight illuminating my favourite crab apple, Malus transitoria.

Cestrum parqui by the kitchen on our Hertfordshire project.

This over achiever shrub flowers profusely for the whole summer and until the first heavy frosts.
