This is my version of No Apologies. All out faery photos, no balance, no relief. Enchantment all the way.
Seems like the faeries are buying industrial-grade dragonflies to get around on.
I hope they come in peace.
These bright little beauties have taught me that dead-heading has its rewards.
They are full of blooms again. A perennial that blooms all season.
Magical indeed.
I only had one foxglove this year, so it just kept its flowers forever. Thank you. Since last year's foxglove went to seed in great numbers, you won't feel so much pressure next year.
The surviving enchanted bean plant that was to take me into the clouds is still reaching for the sky. Its matching sibling on the the other side of the garden has been magically turned into fertilizer --in the form of bunny pellets. Yes, the whole thing!
In planning the garden next year I must remember that snapdragons have a mind of their own. (No, I don't know where the actual brain is on a snapdragon. But it's gotta be there somewhere.) They grow tall and then curve and sit their pretty flowers wherever they want to be. Wherever THEY want to be.
Deadheading gave me a big reward and so did saving the violas in the spring planters. Instead of throwing them out when I replaced them with the summer flowers, I put them in the garden. They have been blooming ever since and there are a zillion little baby plants too. Hopefully next year they'll come up from seed right there. A good save.
Hmm. New neighbor? Hello? Anyone home?
Perfect balance!!!
