My single flower, Mexican Tuberoses are blooming, so exciting! And very, very fragrant....
There are more green facets to fresh tuberose than you can ever smell in tuberose absolutes or attars. I will have to try an enfleurage someday, because I cannot hope to waft actual tuberose blossom in any commercial perfume I can think of. So I say, just grow some tuberoses if you can.
This year, the aphids are not so bad but the spider mites are taking over my world. Despite that, I have some lovely sunflowers....
Though technically, we are getting normal rains, and are not in drought, we are having problems. Our rains come down in "walls of water". We had about 2 inches in an hour, then nothing for weeks. This is not easy for plants to deal with. So our inches per month are pretty normal, but our rains are freakin' weird.... I water everything in my vicinity every morning, but I have to wake up pretty early to get it done.
My herbalism class is going well. I've been making a few smudge pots and drying trays....
And strange things keep washing up on our beach...here's a ball.
Volleyball? Hard to say where it came from, but I'll bet the Bahamas, where they are severely trash-challenged. Note the barnacles? All in all, though, our beaches were pretty clean and lovely this week.
Have a wonderful weekend walkabout!
