Love plants

Euryops pectinatus ‘Variegatus’

Foliage, flowers, structure, texture, presence, shape, form, outline, colour; terms used to describe aspects of plants and their use in garden design.

Plants are so varied, and there are so many to love.

Each day, I take a walk in the garden, it may be just a few minutes before work in the morning, or a summer evening stroll, stopping every five paces to pluck out a weed. Each day I notice something different, the light is different, I might notice one plant that did not register the day before, or maybe new flower buds have appeared.

Plants are diverse, and a diverse range of plants brings a diversity of life to the garden, birds, bees and other insects.

Here are a few plants that caught my attention yesterday.
