I wish I could remember where this quote came from, I think it might be one of  Tich Naht Hanh’s

    Very pretty. Maybe your ‘thought’ is something I will have to tell myself the next few days / weeks!

    Beautiful. Funny thing is I came across this plant today growing in a woodland, on a new walk and did not know what it was. Now thanks to your beautiful mandala I do and have been able to Google it and find out more
    Thank you:-)

    This is so pretty and what patience you must have. It makes me look at mine in a new way. I do like it as a garden plant but I think some people don’t like the size and the fact that is seeds around. It’s so pretty and architectural though.

      Yes, it might be because it seeds itself, but it is so easy to just pull up and get rid of. I’m not sure you should applaud my patience – I was supposed to be weeding – Ha! displacement activity!

    Absolutely wonderful! I planted a Leycestra last year. It’s marginal in my climate but it’s not dead yet. I hope I get some of those lovely blooms one day.

    Love this….a great tribute to this plant. I have the golden one too…and the bees love this plant and then birds love the ripened berries.

      Thank you Linda. There are so many colours shapes and textures on this plant, as I went to put it in the vase I just became fascinated and started taking it apart – hey presto – a mandala!
