| Aconitum carmichaelii 'Arendsii’ & Rosa 'Benjamin Britten' October 11 2018 |
My friend Nora Patrich has taken some of my hostas (on
the fly!) back to her home in Bella Vista a suburb of Buenos Aires. None of
them have survived as they get confused with the change of seasons. I (and my
Rosemary) are no different as we try to adapt to the rapidly happening
Vancouver fall from our most pleasant Buenos Aires spring.
Today, a day of intense sun and the promise of more had
me walking around the garden. One of Rosemary’s favourite plants is the deadly
poisonous Aconitum carmichaelii
'Arendsii’ which is a perennial that is 7 ft high and blooms about now,
bringing an intense blue into our fall garden. I also spotted an English Rose
(a new one we bought this year) Rosa ‘Benjamin Britten’. I have no idea if the
bud would open in the next few days. I cut it and I believe that the contrast
in colours is most beautiful.
