      Some enchanted evening...

      While not quite the sumptuous delights of a South Pacific beach with palms and all, one might have to make do with clear starry skies, Geminid shooting stars, twinkly frost on the ground now and then.

      brrrrr... A quick saunter round the Water Hawthorn and a quicker dash back for salmon and salsa on toast. Umyum.

      That is definitely a joy to behold on a cold late fall night! I will definitely be seeking to obtain one from you in the spring.

      Whoa, while there's no longer a hard freeze on the forecast to put any skim of ice on the pond, it looks like Water Hawthorn will definitely keep blooming up to Christmas day, I shall have to do a bit of a prune and a preen so it can pose on the day.

      20 blooms on a single pond plant at Christmas, has to be well deserving of the rare green thumby award!

      The twinkle tonight is far off lightning complemented by a sparkly misty rain, a distant beat of the rumble of thunder.

      Needless to say, on such a mild night there is the temptation to go see what that neat single Miami Rose tuber with a single sprout started early in Spring, has left behind in the pot.

      After going into bloom in a month or so, three or four blooms at a time were typical through Summer on a position that got shade through mid afternoon heat. The tuber with a single sprout will be ideal for a flowering position next Summer

      In spite of drought, freezes in the 20's, brutal high nineties and worse summer heat, leaving a few lightning battered old trees and lumber to benign neglect provides a niche for quite diverse and unexpected mid winter bounty in the bog garden

      Scoop! Queen of Siam, caught in a candid moment as she goes from one pond to another. Seems to cope well with a chilly dip!
