As my garden evolves over the summer, its inhabitants slowly show their faces and talk to me.
Some like the tulip or the rose shout at the top of their stems “look at me!” And we do, in all their rich glory.
Others are shy, like the sweet pea, and only after 3 days or more do we notice them and hear their voices.
But all are heroes of the garden, created with sunshine, a bit of earth magic, and the love of the gardener that tends them.
