Cool relief

Too hot to think, write, garden (beyond watering) or cook. Last evening I found some relief in cool blue.

Sakura

Sakura 1

The first of the season & the prettiest pink. If I were a bee I'd be buzzing in ecstasy all around this pendulous florescence.

November pansies

From Red October to Yellow November.


On my balcony and in the condo courtyard, butter and lemon and touches of red-purple have brightened November's gray days.

 

I'd like to say this is due to my careful planning, but to be honest, it's because of the limited colour variety at the garden centre earlier this month.

 

Here are some images of the flowers and grasses in pots in our condo's courtyard garden.

 

 

I wonder what colour December will be. I'm thinking white.....lots of white.
