The aviation of October is filled with fragrance . Off in a space and next to the deck of cards , designing with fall perfume nail a fine pattern . The free fall finds us in the garden more ; relaxing , playing , dining . What better way to heighten these import than with fragrance ?
As I travel down the herbaceous plant garden path , the air is fragile , with a light zephyr . My legs brush rosemary grown broad from the summertime sizzle . A retentivity of a delicious meal of roast poulet temper with rosemary comes to mind .
I reflect for only second until a butterfly catches my centre . In a dance that come along to be a volatile flutter , the butterfly find the most worthy lantana flower . The musky scent of the lantana seems resistless to the butterfly stroke .
The florescence
satisfy the air travel . These tiny flower are in great abundance , with scent cover a large radius , welcomed throughout the garden .
Gingers recognize me at nose grade to ensure they will not be drop , as if that was even possible . White and peach varieties can be found , near and far , in my declination - scented garden , Helen ’s Haven . Hardy for us , these tropical looking plant with sweet aroma are enjoyed by the wildlife , while add abandon to our life-time .
Peaking now with sporadic flowers through frost , the aptly - named sweet fall clematis scampers up the side of the house . Many wildlife find this a useful position to obscure .
A tropical escargot vine ( Vigna caracalla ) placed at the mailbox welcomes Robin , our mail carrier . Late to bloom , but leafs out betimes to fill the space ; the flower shape will mesmerize you , so when you come upon one , do n’t forget to breathe in and savour the moment .
My rose garden is filling more and more with tropicals . This oasis zona watered with overflow funnel from the hill holds a fragrant floribunda , Iceberg . Petite and pretty , I stop to smack the rose .
