Fire and Elephants by the Pond
The first of the fire and elephants is euphorbia fireglow. This stunning red plant remains fiery every year regardless of weeds and weather conditions. I usually misremember its name as euphoria, but that feels quite appropriate.
The elephant’s ears bergenia is at the other side of the pond.
Lush and lovely, this plant is also a hardy perennial, named for the shape of its leaves.

A Dancer’s Journey
Scotland’s all misty lochs and magical forests and perfect boyfriends, right?
My dance background and love of history and spicy stories are what inspired this dark mix of contemporary romance and ballet set in a castle. Readers of my historical fiction will recognise the castle and stone circle that feature in these books.
A Dancer’s Journey is available in paperback, Kindle and on Kindle Unlimited.
There are no cliffhanger endings in this series; each book completes a story, but then there is more. So much more.

Never been to Scotland, but due to my reading habits as a teen, I’d have to visit Loch Morar. I’d love to stay a week if the locales would put up with me. Believe it or not, I’m a quiet person 😉
I hope you get the chance to visit!
That’s beautiful!
It’s such a lovely time of year.
Beautiful, Ailish!
Thank you, Tim!

The petals are much smaller, but yes.
Wow! So beautiful.
