Autumn offerings

 

The shocking pink of the nerine is a delight when the garden is slowing down.  There are a few flowers still, but they are slowing down, not producing new buds.

The sedum is so easy to grow and the head of delicate flowers in late summer through autumn, makes me grow this nondescript succulent where there is an empty spot in the garden.

Easy to grow, this lobelia will cover the pot with its cheerful flowers.

The parrots are enjoying the crab apples.  I used to turn them into jelly but at the moment I am happy to see the parrots noisily consume them.

Jacaranda pods.  I could try to collect some seeds when the pods ripen and try to grow them.
