Sunday was sunny but cool. Perfect for a day at Kadoorie, which I haven't been for quite some time. How are the flowers, ferns, shrubs, bushes and trees, animals etc there?
A fallen leaf
leaves turning red
Chillis turning red
chillis turning purple
And don't think that chillies are always green or yellow or red or must be tapered
Nor are beans always green
see? bean pods and its flowers all in purple!
This bean flower is yellow, a late comer, its neighbors have already turned into pods
so are these
The beet root too has ripened under the ground
above ground, the grass is spreading out its strings of hooked seeds
This fluffy red ball wants to disperse it seeds by wind, not through passing animals
even spring onions are producing its seeds. Never saw them before!
This lily is still busy blooming just a little distance away
The colors of autumn
stronger colors of autumn
opening its splendor to the season
this one isn't shy at all about displaying its fire
meanwhile, on the ground too, you can find little flowers just as fiery, with their own honey for their own kind of visitors
leaves too don't want to be left behind
leaves all red, and purple and green
More leaves, full of spikes for its own protection
It hasn't forgotten its back either
Not these, soft and translucent
In a tiny garden outside the green house are some more sturdy flowers
it turns out that the yellow leaves are actually just protection for its flowers
These are the real flowers
So are these: quite tiny though
Though of a different color, they all grow straight up a stalk
How could there be flowers without butterflies
and bees
A flower sucked almost dry
And what is this?
Now I know !
And on the ground, the pigs are either sleeping or feeding. Reminds me of some people. But I got to move on.
(to be cont'd)
