More news from the New Lawn.
I found this one, the one to the left,
on Saturday - but could only guess
that it was one more garden survivor.

Now, after a round of electronic query
sending picture questions to my helpers
near and far (if southern Sweden is far ;-)
I take the responsibility for any
remaining error in this identification
- meaning that if it turns out later
to be something else than a Spider Flower
the repair job falls on my table.

Then... since I could not re-find the rosette
when I made an inventory there yesterday
of everything from chickweed to thornapple
(roundly 80 species)
I had to take another look today, of course
among all the fallen maple leaves.
And I found this one, the one to the right
which, comparing the pictures, is not
the same individual.

Cleome hassleriana Paradisblomster i november och i oktober ... in flower at Karholmen 2005 Eva Ekeblad, 2001

with thanks to Rune Svensson, Erling Jirle
and Erik Ljungstrand, for identification

and to my cousin, Anders Björkström
for nudging me back towards the haiku

switching back and forth
between this year and last year
- that's back to basics
