The Bishop decides to come out at last and gets caught in the rain.
I planted this Bishop of Llandaff Dahlia in a pot in Spring and it is finally about to flower.

Beech trees in Spring Lane.

Deep roots reach down
To the lane where
Shepherd and farmer
Drove their livestock.
Now I haul old bones up
The hill, towards the light.
The trees are higher now

#AgeratumBlooms #Ageratum #QuebecCity #Canada
"Ageratum blooms from spring through autumn, producing very fluffy, paniculate flower clusters. Its tiny, pom-pom-like blooms offer long-lasting, cheerful color—shades of violet, purple, blue, pink, and white. Flowering ageratum is an excellent source of nectar for butterflies, hoverflies, and bees, especially since the blooms can persist until late autumn. Its leaves are rarely eaten by insects or mammals, as they have an unpleasant taste and are even slightly toxic—for instance, by disrupting insect molting cycles. Indigenous peoples used the leaf sap to treat cuts and minor wounds; indeed, modern research has confirmed the plant's antibacterial properties. However, it was even more commonly used as a repellent against mosquitoes and biting midges—simply by rubbing the leaves onto the skin." "L'agératum fleurit du printemps à l'automne, produisant des grappes de fleurs en panicules à l'aspect très duveteux. Ses minuscules fleurs, semblables à des pompons, offrent une touche de couleur gaie et durable, déclinée en nuances de violet, de pourpre, de bleu, de rose et de blanc. En pleine floraison, l'agératum constitue une excellente source de nectar pour les papillons, les syrphes et les abeilles, d'autant plus que ses fleurs peuvent persister jusqu'à la fin de l'automne. Son feuillage est rarement consommé par les insectes ou les mammifères, car il possède un goût désagréable et présente même une légère toxicité — en perturbant notamment les cycles de mue des insectes. Les peuples autochtones utilisaient la sève des feuilles pour soigner les coupures et les blessures légères ; des recherches modernes ont d'ailleurs confirmé les propriétés antibactériennes de la plante. Toutefois, elle était encore plus couramment utilisée comme répulsif contre les moustiques et les moucherons piqueurs, simplement en frottant les feuilles sur la peau."

The red maple (*Acer rubrum*) is a large tree native to Quebec, renowned for its spectacular scarlet autumn foliage. It can reach heights of up to 20 meters and features a rounded crown. Its bright red flowers appear in spring, even before the leaves emerge. Pale green in summer, the tree turns brilliant red or orange in the fall. Highly hardy, it adapts well to northern climates and tolerates wetter or poorly drained soils better than the sugar maple. A real beauty! L'érable rouge (*Acer rubrum*) est un grand arbre originaire du Québec, réputé pour son spectaculaire feuillage automnal écarlate. Il peut atteindre jusqu'à 20 mètres de hauteur et présente une cime arrondie. Ses fleurs d'un rouge vif apparaissent au printemps, avant même l'éclosion des feuilles. D'un vert pâle en été, l'arbre se pare d'un rouge éclatant ou d'orange à l'automne. Très rustique, il s'adapte bien aux climats nordiques et tolère mieux les sols humides ou mal drainés que l'érable à sucre. Une véritable merveille !

Decided to get in early for #SixOnSaturday. Plenty of rain this week and I bought some plants at two local garden nurseries. Plus the Spring Tulips arrived, ready to be planted in pots at the end of October. *Details in Alt text.

Maple water carries 46 nutritional compounds essential to the life, growth, and protection of the tree from which it is drawn. L'eau d'érable contient 46 composés nutritionnels essentiels à la vie, à la croissance et à la protection de l'arbre dont elle est extraite. Maple sap is transformed into maple syrup by evaporating the water in an evaporator until a sugar content of 66% is reached. Inside the evaporator, the sap is boiled at 104°C for several hours. "Processing steps • Harvesting and transport: Maple sap is collected from the trees using tubing or buckets, then stored in tanks at the sugar shack. • Reverse osmosis: Large-scale producers use a reverse osmosis system to remove some of the pure water using pressure. This step concentrates the sugar and reduces boiling time. • Boiling: The sap is heated in an evaporator to evaporate the remaining water. On average, 40 liters of sap are required to produce a single liter of syrup. • Final temperature: The liquid is boiled until it reaches a temperature of approximately 104°C, corresponding to a sugar concentration of 66 degrees Brix. • Filtration and bottling: The syrup is filtered to remove mineral deposits before being bottled." La sève d'érable est transformée en sirop d'érable par évaporation de l'eau dans un évaporateur, jusqu'à l'obtention d'une teneur en sucre de 66 %. Dans l'évaporateur, la sève est portée à ébullition à 104 °C pendant plusieurs heures. Étapes de transformation • Récolte et transport : La sève d'érable est recueillie à partir des arbres à l'aide de tubulures ou de seaux, puis stockée dans des réservoirs à la cabane à sucre. • Osmose inverse : Les producteurs à grande échelle utilisent un système d'osmose inverse pour extraire une partie de l'eau pure par pression. Cette étape permet de concentrer le sucre et de réduire la durée d'ébullition. • Ébullition : La sève est chauffée dans un évaporateur afin d'évaporer l'eau restante. En moyenne, 40 litres de sève sont nécessaires pour produire un seul litre de sirop. • Filtration et mise en bouteille : Le sirop est filtré pour éliminer les dépôts minéraux avant d'être mis en bouteille. Maple sap is transformed into maple syrup by evaporating water in an evaporator until a sugar content of 66% is reached. La sève d'érable est transformée en sirop d'érable par évaporation de l'eau dans un évaporateur, jusqu'à l'obtention d'une teneur en sucre de 66 %. The Quebec sugar shack is a festive spring tradition where people enjoy traditional dishes generously drizzled with maple syrup. The activity takes place in the spring (usually from March to April) during the maple sap run, known as the "sugar season." The highlight of the visit is pouring hot syrup onto fresh snow and enjoying it by rolling it up onto a stick. La cabane à sucre québécoise est une tradition printanière festive où l'on savoure des plats typiques généreusement nappés de sirop d'érable. Cette activité se déroule au printemps (généralement de mars à avril), durant la période de la coulée de la sève, appelée « temps des sucres ». Le moment fort de la visite consiste à verser du sirop chaud sur de la neige fraîche pour le déguster en l'enroulant autour d'un bâtonnet.

The red maple is a tree native to Quebec, highly prized for its spectacular scarlet autumn foliage. Its flowers, leaf stalks (petioles), and young twigs are reddish. Its leaves generally have three to five toothed lobes. Its red flowers appear in the spring before the leaves emerge. While it can grow very tall in the wild, it often reaches a height of around 12 meters in urban settings. Its foliage turns bright red or orange as early as late September. A real beauty! L'érable rouge est un arbre indigène du Québec, très prisé pour son spectaculaire feuillage automnal écarlate. Ses fleurs, ses pétioles et ses jeunes rameaux sont rougeâtres. Ses feuilles présentent généralement trois à cinq lobes dentés. Ses fleurs rouges apparaissent au printemps, avant l'éclosion des feuilles. S'il peut atteindre une grande hauteur à l'état sauvage, il mesure souvent environ 12 mètres en milieu urbain. Son feuillage prend une teinte rouge vif ou orange dès la fin de septembre. Une véritable merveille !

Easy Wave Pink Pearl Petunia: magnificent pale, pearly-pink flowers with pink-violet veining in the throat. It has a trailing habit that is slightly more rounded and controlled than the classic 'Wave' varieties, making it ideal for containers or flowerbeds. Thrives in full sun to partial shade. Blooms continuously from spring until the first frost and is highly tolerant of both heat and cool nights. No need to deadhead; the plant is self-cleaning. A beauty that is both easy and practical! Easy Wave Pink Pearl Petunia , magnifiques fleurs d'un rose pâle nacré avec une gorge aux veinures rose-violet Retombant et légèrement plus arrondi/maîtrisé que les Wave classiques, idéal en contenants ou en plates-bandes.Plein soleil à mi-ombre.Continue du printemps jusqu'aux premiers gelées, très tolérante à la chaleur et aux nuits fraîches. Pas besoin de retirer les fleurs fanées , la plante se nettoie d'elle-même. Beauté...facile et utile=)
