A more striking flower, the Leucospermum produces lots of nectar to attract nectar-feeding birds, bees and other beneficial insects. This flower was in a friend's garden, photo taken with my phone! 🙄📱 #flowers #exoticflowers #redflowers #leucospermum #birdattractingflowers #beeattractingflowers #nectaryplants #permaculture #foodforest #multisensorygarden #biodiversity #gardendiversity #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture #naturephotography #phonephotography

This bright yellow flower with its unique shape is a kale flower! Kale as a leaf vegetable can remain productive for a long period in the garden, I've had it last a whole year in a protected sunny spot, and when it finally is ready to complete its life cycle we're greeted with these lovely vivid yellow flowers, followed by an abundance of seeds and new kale seedlings. 🙂 #flowers #yellowflowers #kale #kaleflowers #vegetables #permaculture #foodforest #multisensorygarden #biodiversity #gardendiversity #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture #naturephotography

Sloe plum (Prunus spinosa) in flower. Also known as a blackthorn, this tree produces small purple plums the size of large blueberries which are infused in gin to create the well-known sloe gin. The tart astringent fruit is also used for making jams, chutneys and fruit pies. The timber is used to make blackthorn canes and walking sticks, as well as the fabled Irish shillelagh, a traditional Irish cudgel! 😲 I have mine growing in a very large pot, as these trees sucker readily and need to be contained. Also, the new growth has seriously big thorns, hence the traditional English name of blackthorn. #sloe #sloeplum #flowers #whiteflowers #plumblossoms #sloeplumflowets #blackthorn #prunusspinosa #permaculture #foodforest #multisensorygarden #biodiversity #gardendiversity #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture #naturephotography

One corner of my food forest garden spilling over a terraced garden bed. A recently pollarded grapefruit is establishing a new canopy, with trellised pepino and hedged pomegranate behind it. The hard edge of the garden bed is softened by the rock samphire, midyim berry, sweet alyssum, land cress and nodding salt bush flowing gently down. 🙂 #permaculture #foodforest #multisensorygarden #biodiversity #gardendiversity #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture #naturephotography

Silvanberry flowers in late spring, these huge flowers produce what have to be the largest brambleberries, big enough to juice! Named after their place of origin, Silvan, Victoria (Australia), this bramble has very strong growing, thick thorny canes, and fruits very early in the season, from November, much earlier than most blackberry hybrids, which is still springtime here in the Southern hemisphere. #flowers #berryflowers #brambles #brambleberryflowers #blackberryhybrids #silvanberry #permaculture #foodforest #multisensorygarden #biodiversity #gardendiversity #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture #naturephotography

Iris flower before it has unfurled, giving a glimpse of its wonderful colours that will soon be on display! This is one of the varieties used for Orris root {Iris pallida has a pale lavender coloured flower and Iris germanica has a dark purple flower). The dried root smells like violets and is used as a fixative in pot-pourri and cosmetics, as an ingredient for flavouring gin, as well as a spice in Middle Eastern and North African cuisine. #flowers #purpleflowers #iris #irisgermanica #orris #orrisroot #permaculture #foodforest #multisensorygarden #biodiversity #gardendiversity #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture #naturephotography

Purple sweet pea flower nodding peacefully, just an excuse to try an artistic shot with my new camera lens... 🙄 Spending time in nature, seeking to find and capture the beauty in the simplest of things that are all around us, is a great way to disconnect from our hectic artificial world and reconnect with the harmony of the natural world! 🙂 #flowers #purpleflowers #sweetpea #reconnectingwithnature #gardentherapy #permaculture #foodforest #multisensorygarden #biodiversity #gardendiversity #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture #naturephotography

Loquats provide the first fruit for the season in spring. These teardrop shaped fruit are the Champagne variety which have a nice fruity flavour which is a bit like champagne. Many people dismiss loquats because they have only ever tasted the seedling grown ones which taste like slightly sweet water. The cultivated varieties of loquats, which are grafted, have an incredible range of flavours are are nothing like the usually tasteless ones grown from seed. #fruit #fruitrees #loquat #champagneloquat #permaculture #foodforest #multisensorygarden #biodiversity #gardendiversity #urbanpermaculture #urbanagriculture #organicgardening #organicfoodgardening #deepgreenpermaculture #naturephotography
