Jesus speaking: “The sower sows the word.”
Mark 4: 14 ( Jesus tells a parable and its meaning Mark 4: 2-20).
I never saw the glory date of their two year cycle completed in white, pink and purple
But they stand in the "lush" garden.
From top to leaf surrounded bottom their spikes 18 to 60 inches tall.
The once summer - butterfly- attracting -and insect -beguiling colour all gone!
They are quiet and peaceful with no distractions
The seeds are heavy in each poach dependent on the driness of the day and a gentle nudge.
They are overpopulated
One to two million seeds per plant.
What will happen to all these seeds?

Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Lovely thoughts about seeds, thank you. I was astounded that my foxgloves grew to 5 ft 8,just taller than myself. It felt like being a child amongst the plants in my mother’s garden again.. 😊
The power of a small seed in good soil, sun, and rain. What a delight to feel like a child. Mine are all seeding but I believe others are still blooming. Thank you, Morag. 😊
You are welcome.
Sandy, it is mind-boggling with that many seeds and indeed what happens to them all?! Just think if they all became plants! A lovely post and I love all the quotes and the Robert Louis Stevenson touches me especially and a great reminder to all of us. Annika
Oh, thank you so much. My post is a bit late today. I am using the idea about Bess…
