After the rain the sun came out.
I was so lucky to spot this hedge in a nearby garden just at the right moment. A few minutes later the rain drops evaporated.
For a few magical moments these plants were stars. Gillian 🙂

Really really magical…yes, you did have stars. I can’t get enough of this shrub in the fall. Thank you!
It’s lovely isn’t it. I don’t grow this shrub but it’s good to see it elsewhere.
I’m a fan of wine-dark foliage in today’s post too!
And for those reasons it’s on my “must have” plants for a garden
Mesmerisingly beautiful x
Thanks Ella!
I’ve always admired this plant, but have never bought one. I’m waiting for them to develop a really small cultivar!
We have to draw the line somewhere Eliza. I don’t grow it either!
Gorgeous! The interplay of light and shadow is wonderful.
Thanks Kate. I’ve noticed that when I allow myself a few moments to really look at things that I see something magical happen.
This is the time of the year for peering into other people’s front gardens…took some Echeveria elegans to a friend yesterday and spied some Stachys byzantine in her front garden. Looking forward to Izzi searching for Bunny Ears in the garden next year! Continus is such a splendid plant, and you have captured the rain drops beautifully.
Thanks Noelle. I do enjoy looking at what else is growing in neighbouring gardens and even on roundabouts and roadsides. Sometimes I have to stop the car I’m so amazed by what I’ve seen as I drive by.
