Fall flowers abound
Awaiting those who partake
Some eat, others watch
Plenty
My Gardener Says…
Yeah, it's work, but it's less work than grass and far more interesting.

Golden tones echo
From partakers to the bloom
Sweet poem and pic

When I downloaded the photo, I was tickled, but it shouted to me: 5-7-5! That is, if a haiku can shout…)

we have a few of these on one side of our house. Have you noticed that when the flowers begin to open and when they fade the color inclines toward purple?

I haven’t noticed that, I’ll take a look. I love rock rose!

Nicely done! Even though this flower doesn’t appeal to me, I still can praise it for its function!

Haiku-o-rama! Well done, Linda, though not surprised…
Is it the Barbie Doll pink that you object to? I’ve known others who really didn’t care for rock rose. It is very pink. I love its resiliency and toughness–and the too pink blooms. 🙂

I think I’ve figured it out. I like Roseate Spoonbills and saltmarsh mallows. I’m quite fond of various pink Agalinis, and of course I like pink cactus blooms. The thing is, the pink of the rock rose reminds me of the pink cupcake frosting and pink bakery cake frosting I grew up with. It always was that in-your-face pink, and there usually was so much of it it made me gag. Now, when I see that color, my response is pretty much the same!

Beautiful. It’s such a special time of year, isn’t it? Soon, we’ll have frost and all the plants will collapse. Enjoying the last days of the growing season…

Even in our droughty/warm conditions, it’s been a gorgeous fall. Our first frost is a long way off…:)

So weird, I could have sword I commented on this post last week… Maybe I’m having the same issues with comments not sticking, that you did for a while? Anyway, I’m not very good at haiku, but the gist of my thought was that that photo made me smile. 🙂

I’ve given up figuring out commenting issues–if it works, great, if not, I hope the writer knows I’m reading.
I’m not great at haiku, either, but this was a fun and obvious one!
