A tiny rose

Irrepressible Rose has produced a tiny flower despite the best efforts of roe deer to prevent it from doing so by eating its young shoots. I'm guiding the shoots, as they get long enough, behind the trellis to afford the plant more protection...

...because they are still eating new leaves.


We have had a lot of heavy rain so the colchicum is looking somewhat rain battered. 



As autumn progresses, the late afternoon and evening light on the hillside across the loch is sometimes lovely, like last night when it coppered the bracken in a warm glow.
