WHAT A DIFFERENCE a season makes. The top shot is through our bedroom window this week. The lower one is the view through the same window in rainy summer.
A sharp eye will detect the butchered trunk of the golden datura in the topmost photo. Datura, like the banana, takes winter very badly, and must be whacked back yearly.
But it’s an enthusiastic, stubborn plant and swiftly returns in springtime, giving us quite a view from the bedroom on our perfect summertime mornings.
What a fantastic curtain the Datura makes for your window!

Angeline: Yes, it does. Through all of rainy summer and on into autumn, it’s mostly impossible to see past those flowers to the yard beyond, which is why it’s interesting to us when I have to cut it down every winter. We can see out the window again.
The main drawback is that those lovely flowers droop severely after a couple of days and then fall dead, brown and shriveled to the ground, making a mess to clean up, and it’s nonstop.

Always good to have a new landscape out of your window, and anticipate the next one.

Kris: Yep, the winter view, which just lasts two months or more, flips 180 degrees from the much longer summer view. They are both good.
