It was not raining yesterday when these pictures were taken.
This year I've become very aware of the aroma of milkweed.
It's lovely, and stops me in my tracks at least twice every day, as I pass the plants growing next to the path to the barn.
Daily trips with the little hay cart have been rerouted to prevent a collision with the one milkweed plant growing in the shorter path.
Spiderwort is providing surprises:
I've now seen four shades of purple on individual plants.
Here are two:
And a single spiderwort plant blooming white.
The palette of the barn gardens is about to change.
Daylilies on the brink of blooming:
After several years of trying, the precious thornless raspberries I've planted in the terrace garden seem to have come to terms with the tough soil and light conditions here, and are not just surviving, but growing. They are currently doing as well as can be expected in a subtropical rainforest.

Wishing you all an excellent week ahead.
And wishing us all a bit of moderate weather.
I don't know anyone who doesn't need it.
