At the moment I am busy dyeing scarves and weaving more pebble hangings for the christmas open at Weston quarry. In the meantime a few pictures of autumn colour from the garden. These photos haven't really picked up the colours properly.

ReplyDeleteThats Herb Robert, considered a week by most gardeners, its a member of the geranium family and is very pretty, the leaves will turn red and dye quite well. It has small pink flowers.
ReplyDeletePretty "weed"! Thanks Debbie. A little beauty this morning is very much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteWe have a native plant in Texas with the common name "stork's bill" ... it bears a striking resemblance to the "weed" in your last picture, and I discovered it too is a member of the geranium clan.
ReplyDeleteIt could be the same plant it has a long stork's bill looking seedpod.
