The Posse Cometātūs – 2020/28
An early morning walk through the Maquis and forest, accompanied by the light of the waning moon and a clear sky is a treat.

I have planted several varieties of Passion Flower, including this variety Rubra.
We have passed the northern Summer Solstice, and at the end of June, there are just six months to go before we are in winter. Brrrr.
As I walk outside every morning in high summer, I am greeted by the heady scent of Jasmine.
I have Dragon Arum in flower at the moment. They look beautiful but smell dreadful!
The courtyard is almost finished! The stones sets need to be laid, and some paint will have to be applied to a wall, but the end in in sight…
The stands of Madnonna lilies are at their best this week. Soon they will die back, to reappear after the autumn rains arrive.
Every garden needs something a little different, spectacular even. If you can’t get a Triffid seed, then try and Echium “Blue Steeple”.
As someone pointed out last week, a weed is just a plant in the wrong place. Here I have some I am leaving to naturalise in their environment.
There is an abundance of colour in the orchards at the moment, even if a lot of the flowers are actually weeds!
