Indian Summer

I always thought they were something of a myth. Not so. We had a wonderful few days of sun and heat.  The smell in the balmy air, the golden shine of the late summer sun and the wonderful lack of expectation made those days feel like such a gift.  Summer went out in a blaze of golden glory.

The second summer flowering always produces more vibrant coloured flowers - to attract the insects which are far fewer in number than earlier in the year.
