Now that it’s October, the grapevine wreath I hung on the fence mid-summer doesn’t seem half as silly.
\nThe pink flowers are from a nearby Asarina scandens, which has been galloping over the fence.
\nThe wreath is one I made for a Christmas past from the grapevine on the pergola.
\nIn combining the two, asarina and grapevine wreath, I had vague ideas of encouraging a living wreath. And so it is.<\/p>\n

The asarina is grown as an annual elsewhere, but can be (and has been) perennial here.
\nIt has an amazingly loopy and arabesque-making habit of growth, creating natural swags.
\nNever one to have much pink in the garden or get heavily into seasonal\/holiday decorating, this is definitely a passing fancy.
\nThe asarina also comes in purple and white forms, either of which I’d prefer to this pink asarina.
\nThe asarina has become a short-timer now that it’s starting to crowd the Monterey cypress.
\nThe three Cupressus macrocarpa ‘Citriodora’ are now past fence height and ready to take over responsibilities as a privacy screen next year. <\/p>\n

Summer foolishness turns into a ripening display of the changing seasons. Proving again that context is everything.<\/p>\n
