Ginger Flowers

This is a ginger bush growing on the side of the road near my place, it puts on a magnificent display every year, those who slow down to admire it are rewarded with the perfume as well.

A touch of autumn

Early this morning autumn was here, that definite feeling in the cool air, it will come and go over the next couple of weeks and then stay.

The first few leaves have come off the liquid amber over the road, another autumn sign.

The moon is in Virgo, it was particularly clear this morning around 4.30am.

In the spring I planted five Polygala in the front yard, they were in 6 inch pots but haven’t they grown.

Lughnasadh

This time of year is the peak of summer, from here on the number of hot days will lessen and the days become obviously shorter. After huge amounts of rain and cloud so thick that visibility was only 50 metres (daytime) the weather has been changing and there have been a couple of fine days.

The garden has become overgrown due to the weather so I will be spending much time restoring a perceivable order.

I always associate this flower with the peak of summer, it comes out when the season is about to change:
