The two clematis plants that covered my arbour in purple petals have finished blooming for the season. However, some interesting shapes are left behind.
Spirals on one plant.
Spheres on the other.
I might as well look for the good and intriguing rather than moan about the spent blooms.
Glass half full.
Make lemonade.
That sort of thing.
Along that line, I'm sharing a little video with you. I hope you enjoy these Canadian a cappella singers.
That's the best part of plants, enjoy the flower then the sometimes wild looking seed head.
ReplyDeleteThe 'lemon' song was fabulous, thanks for sharing.
