The heavy rain of the last few days have changed the look of the garden. The cream and yellow ixias have lost most of their petals and looking quite bedraggle now. The rain is wonderful for the garden but not so kind to the flowers. The lavender survived the bad weather but the azaleas did not fare so well so I have pruned the bushes, taking what was left of the blooms indoor. They look beautiful in a vase and last a while. The jasmine is on the way out as well but in the early morning I can get a hint of the fragrance when I step outside in search for the morning paper. Very soon the greenish ixias will open and change the look of the garden once again. In the meantime I have to let nature takes its course and allow the various flowers fade away.
