A self-sown Cleome - usually a late summer flower - which accompanied us in the move and is now 4 feet tall!
It makes a bloody change! We have had the most glorious - and most unexpected in late October - warm, sunny weekend, and both of us have spent a bit of time and effort on the garden, clearing dead leaves, waving bye-bye to more of the annuals that have gone over and replacing them with pansies and violas, general pruning and pottering - and all the while taking pleasure in the fact that everything in the garden is bloomin' lovely...
To reflect the "Sunday mood" in appropriate fashion - and also because the lovely Miss Scarlet has taken them to her heart - here's another brilliant cover by those talented folks of the Postmodern Jukebox, for your delectation:
Fleetwood Mac never sounded so good.
I.LOVE.THEM.

DeleteI love the delicate, exotic/alien insect-like flowers of Cleomes, and your giant looks amazing! I don't like their prickled-haired stems and stalks, though.

DeleteOh ! I do like a bit of pottering in the garden and Postmodern Jukebox is perfect for it
ReplyDelete"Pottering in the garden days" are fewer and further between in this season - but Postmodern Jukebox carries on! Jx
