The noise of long hot dry days, has been broken
by the clear signal of autumn. We can garden in shorts and T-shirt without
desperately seeking shade. An Easter weekend which brought us a grateful
soaking of 34 millimetres of rain.
Our Southern hemisphere mediterranean autumn,
walks hand in hand with Northern gardeners delighting in spring. The garden is
stretching gracefully.
Lampranthus seedheads open in the rain |
Walking on our Karoo Koppie I found
flowers in a subtle range of colours. Wait, those should be a star-spangled
lemon yellow in September! The vygie
seedheads had opened in the rain.
