This lavender could have gone in the silver and gold post.

Pretty flowers, but that waterlily is the star.

So much beauty! Every shot is gorgeous. I am loving the cyclamen. I spotted some growing under a tree in my garden recently, and was thinking how I need to grow more.

  I’ve read the ants will move them around the garden for you.

The cyclamen patch is my favorite – I am partial to them.

  I’ve decided to collect them a little bit. Got a pure silver one, hope it comes back next year.

Hey, you got a bit of fruit on your black elderberry.
This is the first year that I did nothing with the blue elderberries.

  I’ve never done anything with elderberry fruit….maybe next year…elderberry cordial? Which I would have to learn how to make.

    Cordial is one of the more popular uses for them where they grow. I have not tried it. I can think of too many other uses for elderberry. They just can not be used fresh. They are toxic if not cooked. Red elderberry is the worst.
