Earthly Comforts
Lovely poem by Eugi. The plant we call ‘ Monty plant’ here is a totally different plant. It can grow both in water and soil. It has no flowers just lush green leaves.

Do you mean Monty or Money Sadje – the monty’s as in monasteras or the money plants in so far as Leea rubra?

Money plant. Epipremnum aureum as I just found out. It’s also called devil’s ivy.

Hello Rory! The picture of “money plant” looks a lot like an elder – “black lace”. We’ve one in our back garden though the blossoms have long gone over.

Hey Ian, interesting point of observation.
I checked it through a plant identifier, but l agree with you, it does look a lot like Sambucus nigra aka black elder.
I know that in the early 1800 Horticulturists introduced a lot of non-native species to the town and surrounding areas.

The flower heads are quite similar to the common elder, but with a touch of rosy blush. I’m not sure they’re any good for making elderflower wine though.

Sorry … just to clarify – that is NOT frisbee golf basket right?
I’m sure it’s not and probably some royal thing? But I have to ask – cause you never know 🤷♀️
What is basket on the pole? With English sign that says something port of sandwich ?
What is that basket for?

It’ssymbolic to sailing ships Trisha. It’s a crow’s nest [lookout]. There was a time when Sandwich used to have huge sailing ships in port and that is a throwback to those days 🙂

Boston’s history is quite amazing – that whole New England area has some incredible history ❤️ all my United States 🇺🇸 does – even here with the gold rush!
But your goes back REALLY far … to walk where they walked and see things they may have seen, and to learn such rich history is quite amazing ❤️✌️
