Gold In The Garden

Back in September, the tenth to be precise, I wrote about what a flower represents and in that post I mentioned that I had split up a clump of Correopsis into several dozen plants, that I was eagerly waiting to mature and come into flower, at the time I only had a photo of one flower. Well, here is the gold in the garden this morning!

Once again we are experiencing very dry conditions, so the plants surviving in the garden are hardy ones, for which I am very grateful, else it would be a very sad sight outside.

Here is another gem that has self seeded all around the garden and I am delighted to welcome it in such profusion, both white and pink varieties, in places where nothing has survived before. Its name is Gaura or butterfly flower, named so because the delicate,orchid style flowers bloom on long stems and they appear like fluttering butterflies in the breeze, sadly they don't survive in water, so I am unable to add them to the bunches that I love to pick and share.

So much to be thankful for!
