Whilst the ivy is still flowering and attracting bees, also the occasional butterfly, the Nerine bulbs have come into bloom, just in time for the autumn equinox.

Still there are flowers,
As the daylight fades --
Spider lilies.

I have a made a note in my diary to find more of these amazing blooms to plant in my little garden for next year.  Also I need to add more Asters like this compact variety.

I’ve just read that the autumn equinox is considered to be the doorway to winter, a time to let go of the past and move forward.  So, for today and the next few weeks, let us all enjoy the beauty and colours of the remaining flowers in our gardens.

Happy Autumn Equinox.
