Holidays give time for reflection and renewal



 Christmas and holiday greetings
 for fun with family and friends
Agapanthus  bloom at Christmas in Sydney and could be called our Poinsettia. Affectionately referred to as Aggies, they are hardy, enduring and self sufficient.





The video below takes you to my Christmas garden, with added  thoughts for reflection and renewal.

Fern balance restored in Sydney garden

Hi there fellow gardeners

You allowed for  the perfect photo shoot
 A garden is a microcosm of life - it can be about position, size, power - when one plant dominates, another fades through lack of life-giving light  And no - the meek shall not inherit the earth. 
But that is not to say that some hardy, less dominant  varieties won't outlive and survive other plants, by being  more adaptive to climate change and other conditions, by sending out roots for the future.   Or sometimes they are more useful and productive,  with their  patience, persistence and reciprocity, assisting  the balance of nature. 
Today, following so much spring rain, with a cool breeze and the sun on my back, it was a perfect day to establish equilibrium in my garden.  

Here are the results - and I thank my fellow snail which allowed the perfect photo shoot conditions.
