garden next door

so many plants have self-seeded between the paving slabs but the most amazing is the passionflower

the trunk (and it is a trunk not a stem) is thick, like a tree

surprisingly, there's and old man's beard self-seeded by the passionflower and climbing up it

it looks good but didn't bloom this year

the cats are a big component of this garden (as well as my garden), here's Victor

in front of Victor, cleome flowers, verbena bonariensis and honesty brown dry seedpods to the right, white verbascum flowers in the front
