I hadn’t realised the different characteristics that these flowers could take on. This is a ‘Fluffy’ one.
It’s very hot here now. Hovering around 40 degrees C. for days now. My sunflowers are struggling bravely in the heat, but the constant heat takes a toll.
I threw some seeds down in spring and marvelled at the different but similar flowers.
We’re in yet another heat wave, 40 degrees C tomorrow. My garden now suffers from the onslaught.
My sister lives hundreds of kilometres away in a much kinder climate. I’m envious of her fuchsias.
This was taken in my sister’s garden. I forget what it is called. i think it starts with “A”.

This poor old sunflower is a little bent out of shape.
This one popped up in my meadow garden. I have no idea what it is.
For Cee’s Flower of the Day (FOTD)
This year I made a Christmas tree out of succulent pieces.
It seems to be doing well. I’ve been keeping it moist. Maybe the cuttings are actually growing. I wonder what it will look like next Christmas?
What a surprise and a lesson to show you should persevere. I gathered up some eggs after a rare wet and stormy night. I found them abandoned by their mum, a guinea fowl. They were cold but I put them into the incubator and hoped for the best. I left them when I went away for Christmas and thought it was time to throw them away when I returned. Lucky I left them. They started hatching yesterday.
They are so tiny, but I’m watching them start eating and growing.
This little one has distinctive white marking around it’s head.
They were startled by the camera, and paraded around in a circle.
It will soon be time to get busy again. The weeds are growing. My garden needs attention. But I have to admit it’s nice to just rest up.
Be Original!
