Final Spike

 Flower heads have been dropping like rain around here in the last few weeks.  The garden man did call in while we were away to give the olive tree a good cutting but that was the only job done and now the paths and beds are covered in petals and other detritus making it very slippery. Also in checking the state of the orchids, which are now starting to wane, Debbie found an ancient potted plant with a new spike protruding. Now this has to be the latest of late bloomers and it seems that Grandpa is the one that gave up on this pot, as nothing was happening, year after year. I guess it just needed a change of location.  I have plucked another load of lemons for the tray out front in this never ending lemon drink season.

It looks like four flowers so far
