And here we have Vaccinium cylindraceum, the Azores Blueberry, wearing a stunning little number in gold, pistachio and scarlet, accessorised by some deep midnight fruit. Front page of Vogue before the month is out.

Facilitated by that little heading “related” at the bottom of your post. Oh, the days when I just lurked here before summoning the courage to comment. I know, you long for those days. 😉

I’m disappointed. I thought you might have a spreadsheet. 🙂

Gorgeous, shame it needs an acid soil. I’ll just have to admire yours.

The autumn palette is beautiful. Better than high fashion, in my opinion; but the conceit makes for an enjoyable read.

Thanks. Did you ever see the film Far from Heaven? The clothes match the colour of the seasons, it is a wonderful sight and a great film.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve just put a hold on the DVD at the library.

I’ve finally managed to watch “Far From Heaven”. It’s a good movie, true to the time and place, thought provoking. The title really says it all.

I was only wondering if you had seen the film this week. Glad you enjoyed it. x

I have never heard of a blueberry from the Azores! What a trip! What was it doing out there! Vaccinium is such an American genus.

Holidays? Is that like ‘vacation’? Some plants have a weird way of getting around, and vacciniums have those small seeds that birds can carry to some strange places. . . . like the elderberries. I used to think that North America had a monopoly on elderberries, only to learn that there are more varieties in Europe, and even some in Russia! The soapberry from Oklahoma and Texas is somehow native to Hawaii. That is one I can not explain, because it has those big seeds that do not get around so easily.

Perhaps it is a good thing that we can’t explain everything!
