The fruit were a bit tart but I am guessing edible. It's a pretty plant. I wish I could find a spot but the thorns and need for sun scare me.

I love the <em>Millettia reticulata</em>, some plants are worth waiting for. Your macro shots are exquisite, I love the extra texture from the dew and the rich colour. The shades of purple are great, but I think it is your poor battered dahlia that has stolen my heart.

I carry a map of them in my head. There used to be a beautiful example on 17th Street just a block off Union Square Park. I've got to find a place for one in my new Brooklyn garden. I agree, the profusion of rank growth after all this rain (incessant here) makes me look forward to cutting things down, even to the spring when I can burn it all and have emptiness for a while.James Goldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12718058779971621920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-66542089801337613712011-09-25T06:29:11.555-04:002011-09-25T06:29:11.555-04:00I hear ya Les, my garden is looking a bit unruly a...I hear ya Les, my garden is looking a bit unruly at the moment too. Not much I can do with the constant rain we've had this week. I got stuff to plant but it's too muddy to be digging in the dirt.
