FAITHFUL

Do I use the right word? 'faithful' to describe. The plant has always been faithful to the gardener. It is still there and keeps on flowering?  Anyway, how good it is, the red Mandevilla Sanderi has been flowering since early this year, the hot summer month it's flowering perfectly it looked so beautiful.
Now is Autumn and the garden is alive dressed in Rubis Red, the beautiful flower.
It has been so loyal, keeps on flowering and the size of the flowers are so prominent, and the colour is a deeper red, It is absolutely gorgeous.

There are not a lot of flowering plants in bloom in my garden, but this Gallipoli Heath is here and faithfully coming to flower every year, very consistent.  It sits a long stretch under the standard roses, and indeed it looks so festive with the purple colour.

  

 Gallipoli Heath with it's Royal Purple Colour has faithfully adorned the place every year.

The Big Red Geranium was having a rest for a bit, but now come back and stay in flower, very dedicated to the owner, the gardener.  It is just there showing off the vibrant prominent red colour.  When flowers are dying out, the new buds are coming up to replace, so committed.

In spite of the dry weather, the standard red rose is giving us flowers too,  cut a stem the other morning, the bold red colour stands out on the basket.

They're not many colours in the garden at the moment but plenty to be glad about.  The Pink Myrtle is still in flower with struggle of the heat, pink, white, and red roses are there just a view only they look a little tired.

How about your garden this Autumn, is it beautiful? As the saying goes, Autumn is the best time as the leaves are as colourful as the flowers.

Autumn is a beautiful season, it reminds me of lots of things in life.

The healthy flowering plants have their own way to give us joy, and they flower continually.

This Fernery Corner is a home for diseased plants, the maidenhair fern was sick, and now it is there with friends, I am sure it survives.

The citrus plants are doing well this time, but Pomelo is giving us a dozen of fruits, it has been so faithful and consistent for the past few years. 


The gardener expects too much of the garden, which is not fair but at the same time, she appreciates all the faithful plants which make the garden stay alive, with the help of the rain and the Sun.  What could we do without them?

Yesterday, after a busy morning, I worked for the front garden, so far I have been watering faithfully and the other day fertiliser was applied, they need extra nutrient to grow.  For comfort and cosiness, I gave a good feed, put an excellent mulch to the flower bed and a good bath for the plants.  Took me close to two hours to do, but look at the garden bed now, it is beautifully dressed and looking smart.

Organic Mulch for The Front Garden Bed 

 Garden Bed, in the Front Yard.  

Beautifully Mulched, Dressed Smartly.

I was brave to work with the sugar cane mulch, so dusty and so much of it, you had to hold in your breath as much as you could while you were working, it's not an easy task,  I thought we did a great job, I did anyway.  We had an excellent treat afterwards, 'Berries for the Braves'

Thinking of my brother, and also a friend who is having a birthday today.
.
She is a kind and a genuine person, a faithful friend, hope to see her soon, to wish her the very best.  Happy Birthday Coral and Have a Wonderful Day.

I know she loves sweet cake and the savoury would be perfect to match it.

Mini pancakes for Coral's Birthday were a delight.

Freshly Picked Herbs

My garden is my pride and joy, faithfully I attend to with a serious commitment.  Thanking the herb garden that gives me all that I may need. They are consistently generous.  Fresh herbs for the garnish, for cooking, and baking.

The Herbs from My Garden:  chives, fennel leaves, basil, Greek basil and lemon verbena.

FAITHFUL!

It is good to be.
