scenes from a garden

[tielan]

Fully into the early fruit season for my trees. This is mostly peaches and nectarines at this point, although there were some scarlet eggplants (which I decided not to keep after all) and a cherry (or two). And I need to eat the cabbages before something else decides to eat them...

( but first, stone fruit )

This magnificent specimen is an "orchid cream" nasturtium. Frankly, I'd have called it a Bloody Mary.



I got a bunch of seeds from a seed company here in Australia, and sowed them and this is what resulted. Unfortunately, it got caught up in the heatwave of early November and died without producing any seeds. I think there's another one in the garden somewhere, but I suspect the chooks dug that one up. :(

Pity. It was really stunning and different!
