All from my garden: Pheasant Berries, Kaffir Lily, Achillea, Phygelia and Marigold.
I was having a clear out and came across this amazing quartz crystal I bought many years ago in my hippy dippy days!

What a bright and beautiful collection. I seem to have calendula flowering most months, they just seem to go on and on.

I’m wondering how long the marigolds will brighten up the garden – we had a frost this morning but they were untouched.

What a glorious display for the start of December – wonderful! The pink Kaffir lily/hesperantha is especially pretty. If one crystal brands you as hippy dippy, what does my (very) large collection make me…?! 🙂

But i was considered a bit bonkers in those days (about 30 years ago now) by family and friends and perhaps I was – stepping through the door of awareness can be life-changing – there’s no going back!

I know it has been cold but those mix of mild days is really confusing plants and probably animals too. Climate change in action – I fear.

Yes, I agree. I can’t believe climate change has been allowed to get to this level so quickly.

I’m getting re-aquainted with the crystal – can’t think why I had it hidden away all this time.

Thank you – that is my go to background – it is actually a metre square canvas that I painted with acrylic paint, propped up behind a room- dividing shelf. I am thinking of painting a few more in different colours for a bit of variety.

What a lovely lot of flowers. It has been very dull often lately so brightening up is definitely in order. Great crystal too!
