High Summer in the Garden


After that winge about the humidity I have managed to propel myself and my camera onto the verandah to take some summer snaps.

Physostegia (Gallipoli heath) is always a late summer constant in my garden. I love the way that, if you clear a path for it when its first shoots appear, you will be rewarded with beautiful cobalt violet flowers when everything else is going off. Witness the azalia beside it which is yellow with forced undernourished growth so typical of this time of the year.

In the second shot I love the heaviness as the leaves droop weighed down by the water from two days rain.

Blogger is not cooperating. Pictures at a later date.
