18th August 2021, Passiflora blooms and Terrace reaching final stages
Isn’t nature stunning? Take a look at these pictures of the flower of the Passiflora. There are many different varieties of Passiflora but this has definitely one of the most delightful flowers. This is the first year of our Passiflora and we only planted a few weeks ago, so we are very happy to see the plant rewarding us with these blooms and showing us the appreciation of where we have located it.
The bees love this plant too, multiple bees crowd on to each flower during the sun. Maybe the scent of the flower is stronger when it's warm.
The Terrace is nearing completion! Now onto the decking.
You will notice that the red bricks (with holes in) have been sited in position now, and the installation of the decking has got under way. This picture was taken late in the day, close to 8pm and so that is all for today: the job will be completed tomorrow. The decking has been coated with a weather proofing paint before being screwed down. But there will be another coat when the “laying” task is complete. The raised bed wall with be treated too, at the same time.
