I tip toed through the grass border (with only the odd oops!) to take a photo of the splendid sugar pink nerines. On closer inspection I was bemused/outraged/impressed to find that an errant hesperantha had seeded itself in the midst of the naked ladies. The cheek! With chameleon like powers of disguise, it had me fooled, a least for a minute.
Not that I was surprised. This was Lavinia’s garden after all. Another of her disreputable mates. She feigns regret and sorrow at my continual removal of these bullies, but all along I feel is secretly pleased that they test my patience. She is impressed by their rebellious nature and fortitude. I suppose I am too, but please don’t tell Lav I said that.
Poor Hes and her identity crisis. Probably thinks if she has to stop being a Schizostylis then she’d like to be one of the Amaryllidaceae, equally unspellable, or even an Amaryllis (pronouncable and related). But she’s merely unwanted, despite trying hard to fit in. Society is so cruel.

You are quite right, it is hard to fit in sometimes, but she was doing such a fine job! This one came out, but there are plenty left to fill her place, and plenty more to come ….

Unwanted visitor aside, these lovely pink blossoms noteworthy and memorable.

For some reason I don’t associate autumn with pink. They are very fresh and welcome.

Unwanted but surely not unloved? They too deserve a place in our Autumn hearts.

That looks like the lovely Nerine Stephanie. Very beautiful and a perfect match for the Hesperantha.

It does look like it doesn’t it?! It is lovely, and so is the hesperantha. Just not there!
