Gardening

Just a quick post to show you the flower stalk in the garden.

Alan and I have been working very hard out in the garden this past week (I must be honest and say that Alan has done a lot more than me!), and we noticed that the agave in the picture is die-ing  back as t he flower stalk grows.

I thought that was interesting, and it was worth a post!!

It's raining here now - so no more gardening for a while!
See you tomorrow night!

Garden Stalk Update

Thought you might just like to see what's happening with the agave in our garden, and it's mile high stalk!!

The stalk began flowering a week ago, and is continuing up the stem with fresh flowers opening each morning.  The flowers are a greenish white colour and the stamens are yellow - pretty nondescript actually, except for the number of them!

So here we are, with a visiting bee the bees are all extremely interested in our agave stalk!

This is a real close up of the flowers:-

Here I have stepped back two steps:-

Here I have stepped four steps back:-

 I will post pictures again, when the stalk is fully covered with flowers - some time next week that will probably  be!
