Next year I will try for the fourth time to grow the indigenous Nymania capensis or Chinese lantern bush which prefers the heat of the Klein Karoo but sometimes deigns to flourish in wilder domestic gardens. It is a cherry-red beauty and birds love the nectar.
Gorgeous petunia!! Simply wonderful -- look at the texture on the petals! Wow! Can you imagine a few black-glazed pots filled with these beauties -- along with the bright green of the potato vine? Or a long red-painted window box filled with these petunias? On a patio with black iron furniture -- and black-and-white cushions and umbrella.
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."

I'm yearning to grow heavily-scented roses, lavender, motherwort, and catnip. I've had no garden for two summers, and I cna't do that any more.
Mouthwatering --
