Greens and Blooms

I gave the lilies away. They're beautiful but I can't handle the smell of them after awhile, either!

Agreed. I find lily scent overwhelming. I used to have them outside, because they are beautiful, then lost a bunch to lily beetle and gave them up. I like day-lilies.

I kept the eucalyptus branches. I just gave away the lilies. I feel much better but the scent is lingering in my mind. It's like a combination of baby powder and moth balls!

There are some interesting essences of chemicals in lillies ... then tomahtos may contain essence of stuff found in some deadly botanicals ... a little being good ... a lot being dangerous as nightshade!

If you can read into it ...

Lovely fall colours Kimmio

those pink roses you got a shot of. Those rose hips on the plant are edible. I would knock on the owners door and ask if you can have them. Ca be used for rose hip tea if you only get a few or rose hip jam if you can get a bowl full

I went by that spot a few days ago and didn't notice anything. Maybe I was focused on traffic. There was none this time. Today, I went by and was awestruck by the brilliant red. The phone-photos don't do it justice. The trees were brighter than the car parked there.

I won't be available to go past there at sunset for the rest of the week, but if (and it's a big if) I can get myself up and out at the crack of dawn, I might try to get some better pictures at sunrise.

We are having warm temperatures and my lavender just keeps blooming.
