Municipal planting in Corinth

Purple ornamental cabbage

I was so busy trying to get the cabbage in focus that I didn't notice the mushrooms until I was leaving the town square!

December flowers and a large bee

I was thrilled to see this busy bee yesterday and glad that I had gone out armed with my camera.

The bee took no notice of me whatsoever.

January flowers on the balcony
Inspired by Lucinda Willan’s counting of the plants in bloom on New Years Day at Sparoza I took a look at our south facing balcony on the third of the month.

First this Bougainvillea, which had been ill for a couple of years, and now has decided to flower
