Garden Gossip

 Today, the Tecoma Capensis, or Cape honeysuckle,

almost had a temper tantrum, claiming that I had not

properly acknowledged its presence, since it arrived more

  than a week ago. Hence, the close up of its 'good' side. 

 It huffed and puffed that, while it was 'on leave', it had

heard through the grapevine that, despite the maple's 

burnt leaves, the tarnished tree was the most

 photographed subject this past summer -

even more than the ravishing red verbena, (horrors!),

 whose petals, it professed, were surely pure perfection!

 Of course, being the designated photographer

of these garden roomies, this was completely untrue.

The green with envy grapevine, hiding in the huddle.

Hmm. I needed to get to the bottom of this, so

off I went to the aforementioned grapevine, 

which miraculously, always seems to have

 the latest scoop on this gullible garden group!

I wasn't surprised, (or convinced),

 when the conniving vine

 tried to pin the whole thing

 on the Goldcrest cypresses!

Its motive? Jealousy: 

for being evergreens,

 and getting to hang out with the

 herbs, and the flowers and the grass,

 rain or shine, unlike the vine, 

that runs out of time,

 deprived of that precious,

 all season pass.

Thanks for visiting

and happy weekend!
