Winter is only days away and don't we just know it!!! Not many leaves on the trees now!
No colour whatsoever . Just the beautiful red of the Coral Bark Maple out in the front garden.
We have a couple of Dahlia Trees here at Candlestick Farm. One in the garden and one in the Vegie Garden. They struggle a bit here and this year, painfully slowly they both grew and grew to well over 6 foot high. Walking around the garden the other morning l noticed from a distance, a single beautiful pale pinky lilac flower high in the air!
It looked rather striking against all the greys and dark colours around it....
Until l got closer and had a better look at the rest of the tree!
Black as the Ac of Spades!!! Bitten to death by Mr Jack Frost!!! What a shame!
There were heaps and heaps of buds ready to burst too!!!..................
Ahhh well... we shall just have to enjoy the one flower for the next few days before it dies as well!
