I find yellow and orange plants disconcerting, love cottagey
plants but
tropical stuff never appeals.
Janet Tweedy

LOL :~)
I love all colours except pale ones, and tropical really does it
for
me !!
I hate tidy, regimented gardens, topiary, box hedging and lawns!

I hate tidy gardens too but I can't quite see the connection to
tropical plants in not liking tidy gardens.

Tropicaltidy ?

Not sure what the symbols mean but there are some tropical gardens
that are as tidy and as neat as the trimmed box hedges style in
temperate gardening.

Oh sorry!
different from each other .......

I have a love of all 'weird' plants, so I have to admit to owning
a
'blue'
rose :~)

But it's in your garden not mine, so I can live with that. :-))

It's actually a sort of washed out purple .....

Thanks for that link. It's an interesting colour and doesn't look at
all blue (and I would consider it if it was that colour here). The
quality of light is very differnet in the UK to my garden and plants
that can look good in the UK can look ghastly under our stronger more
glaring light.

We're in the best time of year! Apples dripping from the trees, berries
everywhere, beautiful fungi in the woods, all those gorgeous red and
orange colours. And yet already you can see the bulbs emerging and buds
appearing ready for spring

I am with you on the garden, mine is looking pretty good at present if a
little dank! I just thought there was a smidgeon of crowing going on about
the light levels (which you must admit get steadily worse till Christmas)

:-)) Well to cheer you up later in your hibernation, I promise I'll
post sometime in late Jan, early Feb, about gardening in 40+ C heat
under an unrelenting and intensely dehydrating sun and being eaten
alive by bush flies with the hot dry wind making my tomatoes shrivel
to a crisp and the grasshoppers yet again ravaging the land :-))

Fair enough! I have down in Cornwall a very flat climate temperature wise,
never very hot and never very cold, but I like the rest of the country
cannot escape the Latitude which means less light than I would like in
winter :~)
PS I generally cheer up after Christmas when the days start to lengthen
again!

I get really depressed from lack of daylight in November (particularly
when I've missed the whole summer being stuck at the computer) and cheer
up after Christmas too. I think I would cheer up even more if I lived in
Cornwall ... it's such a magic place! I compromise by saving happy sunny
photos to use as screensavers...

I always dread winter too, and hate it when the clocks change. Early
sunsets just make it feel worse.

It's been really pleasantly warm here today, though - if only it would
last a bit longer. Hope you all saw some sunshine as well.

But are you not prepared for it? It happens every year and there is nothing
you can do about it. Just accept it :-))
