I have already dead headed this bush several times, but after the last time, I got this nice cluster of blooms.
It's that time of year again... wine making time! Happy new week my friends, pour yourself a glass & enjoy =)
Its time for them to bloom, this year it has many arms with cluster of flowers, this is one plant that does okay without help or water,
the simple morning dew it keeps it alive.

Back to Smuggler Cove and a treasure hunt for another chest of gems. This time it is the discovery of a cluster of Lilly pads floating in the shadows. Their greenish hue is further enhanced by the deep blue in the water and the black shadows from the surrounding trees that grow in the bog.
They almost shimmer in the reflected light and remind me that landscape photography can be a matter of discovery, rather than time of day.
For years I have wanted Beautyberry growing in my yard. But life, weather and insects conspired against me ... until now!
The colors... grape green to deep magenta! The songs of visiting birds! Last years bushes are now in full fruit and their spaced clusters of berries are ripening from green to pinky purple. Even the veins of the leaves have a purplish tint. I love the texture of the edge of the tiny leaf above the green berry cluster in this image. And the deep hazy purple tones in the background.

“You cannot eat a cluster of grapes at once, but it is very easy if you eat them one by one.”

Discovered in the garden the other day after a wild storm had lashed northern Sydney.
My roses were battered, and I lost a beautiful 'Apricot Nectar' floribunda that was snapped in half by the vicious winds.
However, amid the thunder, rain and fork lightning I ventured out into the garden to cluster all the roses (in the glazed pots) together for protection.
And the next morning I found these two roses together. My Meilland 'Seduction' floribunda is on the left (she's a French rose) - she's Juliet. And my 'Mr Lincoln' is on the right. He's Romeo. lol.
SO here is Kym Mazelle, from 1996, with 'Young Hearts Run Free' from the soundtrack of the movie 'Romeo & Juliet' starring Leonardo di Caprio.
