SixOnSaturday

There will be no gardening this weekend , for the very good reason that I am momma - sitting . The materfamilias had a articulatio coxae replaced on Monday , back home just 2 days afterwards , so I am stay with her for a few days . I ’ve borrow her garden for this weekend ’s Six on Saturday .

1 – Front path . Mum ’s theatre , where I grow up , was built in 1906 and like many on the street has a tiled path .

2 – Penstemon . My genus Penstemon ( see last calendar week ) is n’t the only one hanging on to a few flowers , Mum has a few in the front garden .

3 – Passion flower . This industrial plant is a beast . It has been cut right to the reason on at least one occasion and just bounciness right on back . It is now about half way up the paries , but will get to roof floor eventually before the bicycle starts again . Being December , it is neither in fruit or flower , but is looking well .

4 – Eucalyptus , possibly ? I ’m not sure . It ’s a large pocket-sized tree and still in leaf as you may see . No koalas were seen munching in the canopy , so that might imply non - eucalyptus , but one ca n’t be sure .

5 – Cyclamen leaf . This plant is in a flowerpot on the patio , and has the declamatory leaves I ’ve ever see on a cyclamen .

6 – Dieffenbachia ‘ Purify ’ . What a gracious houseplant , who could have bought that , what mortal of impeccable taste and unselfishness ? Me ? Oh yes ! Birthday present a few weeks back , I think it looks rather nice in the corner of Mum ’s dining way .

That ’s your lot for this week . Next Saturday is Christmas Day , so in a passing from a 4 or 5 class streak , I ’m going to intimate we skip it and make the next one 1st of January . Merry Christmas !

I ’ll be back then in the new class with another # SixOnSaturday .
