We have not had any rain in weeks now & the garden is looking so sad that I sometimes just despair with it ... in doing this you can often miss the beauty. I had a friend visit with me & she was totally amazed at the lovely plants we had growing in our back garden - she said 'they look like you have been down there with your paintbrush painting the insides of them' ... well it's true that's just how they do look especially those growing in dappled sunlight ... our dear common bromeliads are putting on a lovely show & my friend made me take stock & admire them with new eyes ...
