Madly Flowering.

Goldfinch60



Such strange times,

The weather must be awry.

Here in Autumn,

Looking into winter

There are flowers blooming,

Blooming in my garden.

The dahlias are flourishing,

The fuchsia has so many flowers,

I have never seen so many on it.

The chrysanths are flowering again,

And now there are buds on a rosebush!

It has already flowered twice,

And now it is flowering for the third time.

Such strange times.

That global warming must be here.

    Going by some newspapers, though they can't always be believed, the Conference is a bumbling farce, e.g. leaders arriving in private jets, etc. And things which may make us believe people in charge of us are named Bozo, Coco, etc.

  • Doggerel Dave

    Since you are the perennial optimist, Andy, this must be cause for celebration.... 😊

  • Nicholas Browning

    An overlooked issue that needs to be addressed. The time really are strange. Good to see you're doing well. Have a like!

    Whats all the fuss about glow ball warming, I havent even got a glow ball since a well aimed kick from the ex!

    How long will those blooms last and how much damage will the frosts do to a confused flowering plant..... yet to be seen.

  • L. B. Mek

    I don't know the why's
    but its like we're witnessing an amalgamation
    of a late Spring's second budding
    and that Autumnal scenic, beauty;
    whatever the reason
    however ill its symbol for our future
    in the now of breadth to blink, existence
    I am just taking-in and cherishing
    this unique
    aesthetic sublime, our merciful mother nature
    so fit: to gift...
    (thanks for sharing Andy,
    thought it was just me
    and my lack of horticulture knowledge
    when I was taken aback by the amount of greenery
    and budding colour, so late in the year)

  • Garth Rakumakoe

    Colour and poignant at the same time. It really does speak to the times. Thank you for sharing!

    ..... Or they really, really like your garden

    • Goldfinch60

      They must be mad if they like the garden AND the gardener.

      Though it may seem miracle
      But the nature is silently warning us to make amends
      Else the consequences will be beyond anyone’s control
      Th havoc nature will cause beyond our thoughts

      • Goldfinch60

        Nature has such power.

          Nature gives us the information we need, if only we would listen.

          • Goldfinch60

            So true Gwennie, we must listen to nature.

            Andy
