Seeds that have lain dormant for eighteen months are bursting into instant life everywhere.
I don't know what they are - the millions of pepper seeds that litter the ground under these trees haven't yet joined the rush to germinate - but the air is washed and fragrant with the perfume of pepper trees, and flowers are everywhere.
These white ones are pepper flowers.
The estrelizia is looking great,
roses and hibiscus and frangipani scent the air,
and on the pepper trees this morning I saw a huge butterfly.
As the song says - "It might as well be Spring!"
It does indeed look very springlike.
ReplyDeleteWonderful - nature reborn.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos...in my part of the world, we're getting to the end of the flower season. We've had a lovely fall, though, so my pansies are still going strong. This weekend, however, they'll be peeking through a few inches of snow.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful what a bit of rain can do. Your photos are lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteWow. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see things bursting back into life after struggling against the drought for so long.
