I spent quality time in my garden today, the weather altogether glorious, greeting all my darling trees and plants,

softness of leaves,

so sweet,

copious Magnolia flowers upon Maggie's branches

truly resplendent,

The youthful Red Wine Magnolia, having much growing to do

biding her time

as she reaches for the sky

As petals emerge from the protective leaves of brilliant Green

Stepping through the picture frame

a portal to majestic beauty

behold!

My Cycad Revoluta plants

There be many spikes upon their Lime Green leaves

with care, I stroke these as they dance and share their love and life force

This process, part of my practice in honor of these Cycads and all life on our beautiful planet

I spent time, quality time, yesterday with Faye, my support worker and dear friend, at Avalon Gardens Plant and Tree Nursery, exploring the trees and flowering plants, including a beautiful ancient plant, called a ' Cycad '

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI5GSg6594k

This plant features in Tony Park's novel, "Last Survivor," kind of like me : D

these real and beautiful, thriving during the Cretaceous Period, when Dinosaurs ruled the Earth

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxHCOygRIDg&list=RDDQXPnwxnbbo&index=4

Lidy, at the Avalon Gardens was telling us about the Cycads and how they were doing

one young Cycad had recovered after being in the morning sun a little too long, as these, like Hydrangeas, require more shade and less light and heat from the Sun, but this beautiful Cycad had grown a new leaf, Lidy was thrilled as we were,

She showed us two Lime Green Leaved Cycads,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_lNY0jDY4A&list=RDDQXPnwxnbbo&index=6

Faye took images during this session as I gave these Cycads some Sentinel healing love,

Lidy watched as my hands were careful not to touch the Cycad's leaves in the wrong way, as they have spikes,

Soon, the Cycads were dancing under my touch, Lidy fascinated by what she was seeing,

Always, for me, Faye and all Sentinels, a beautiful loving experience every time.

an honour and privilege we all understand and enjoy doing

I now have two Cycad Revoluta plants

these are beautiful

We spent the afternoon taking pictures of yours truly

With the Magnolia’s to Weeping Cherry, a spiraling pretty tree with the most sumptuous leaves, these, most around 3 to 6 metres high, give or take.

visiting Natives and a range of flowering plants including a gorgeous Willow.

the leaves on the Teddy Bear Magnolia were huge and thick, The flowering Plum Tree, another treat.
