Outside my window, well...
Taking care of the garden has been a pain over the last years so I let it go, erm, wild...

On the left I see a strange branch that sprouted a few flowers that disguise it as raspberry or blackberry, no idea where that will be going. It was in a pot where the 'sad apple tree' was delivered to me years ago, which does need a bit more attention although it did surprise me with flowers and even apples last year. The apples are tiny and more suited for birds since they are very sour.
I also see the bold, vivid red maple in a pot. I can't even describe its colour because it's way, way out of the image colour spectrum and radiates red, orange, red, orange, plum; all depending on the sun and the light that hits it. It is absolutely fabulous. Small, but like a bunch of flowers all the time.
On the right I spot some fragrant flowers from the honeysuckle and even snapdragon; the latter is quite the surprise.
I see some red salvia flowers that defied a few Winters (and my negligence) and even though they were sold as not hardy at all; they still live after snow and more.
The fig tree is still growing and I missed another pruning session early this year when no one could come over to help. But oh well: the more figs the better! It is getting quite unruly though, covering almost a third of the entire garden width.
There is a Strange Artefact which is the 'eucalyptus tree' I bought at a garden centre. Little did I know. Armed with zero knowledge I though this was a good idea. It turned out to be a branch, as I removed the pot dirt and planted it. It grew. A lot. But it's still basically a stick. It's curved, to boot. And one very cold Winter, as I walked into the living room I saw a bunch of leaves against the window. The leaves were attached to something; a massive branch. Where in the world...? As I stared at it, I noticed the tall eucalyptus tree was 'gone'. Well; it was no longer standing: it had draped itself against the window. It must have had problems keeping itself together in the harsh cold. The next day: it was upright again. I never understood how it was possible that it could simply go limp like this. But it's still here, a strange tall prince standing tall, alone, like this weird thing sticking out of the garden with leaves all the way up in its crown.
