Quote of the day:
“What wondrous life is this I lead!
Ripe apples drop about my head;
The luscious clusters of the vine
Upon my mouth do crush their wine;
The nectarine and curious peach
Into my hands themselves do reach;
Stumbling on melons, as I pass,
Ensnared with flowers, I fall on grass.”
~ Andrew Marvell

That is a really great photo. The black and gold colours are stunning. Beautiful!
Thanks Sue. It is a very photogenic plant, especially in the low autumn sunlight.
Beautiful photograph.
😉 Thanks. It’s easy with such a strong subject!
That is one to search for, lovely.
Thanks. Chiltern Seeds sell them.
Did my order from them last weekend to get the Black Friday discount. Next year, you’ll have to remind me!!!
This is a really pretty plant, good for a little yard privacy
Yes, but it does walk around a bit, so watch for that.
