The plant originates from the planes of South Africa but is seemingly very happy almost anywhere, and so like many others I enjoy it\u2019s late season colour each year in my difficult south-facing London back garden. A late season flowerer it usually stealths into August \u2013 but a couple of weeks into July and already bright colour is starting to snap out above it\u2019s tall green leaves.<\/p>\n<p>As much as I enjoy its arrival, there is also something about it which usually reminds me that we are well past midsummer, closer to the next season than the start of the current one. I am not quite sure what to make of this years untimely arrival.<br \/>\nAlthough I am someone who loves all changes of season \u2013 the exciting time from later spring and into midsummer where plants make the most of the abundance of light available is particularly galvanising, more so this year than ever. Gardens got a lot of attention this year and elsewhere the natural world made use of the space we afforded it. The growing world\u2019s exuberance brought an excitement and momentum to our hunkered down, cautious existence.<\/p>\n<p>Late season events are a reminder that things will soon slow down, as we look ahead to a winter of uncertainty this is an uncomfortable thought.<\/p>\n<p>The growing word\u2019s timeline has been something that has historically underpinned, but increasingly exists outside of our way of life. Our own relationship with time and particularly the passing of it often feels a battle, that of plants is hard to separate from it. When we engage with them, plants connect us to our world, but also to time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Samples.<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>The Stubborn Light of Things<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/M_Z_Harrison?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Melissa Harrison<\/a> is a novelist and nature writer whose understanding of the natural world, and its relationship to our own has helped me to understand both better in recent years.
