1. “Gardening is not a rational act.
2. “A garden is always a series of losses set against a few triumphs, like life itself.”
3. “Gardens are not made by singing ‘Oh, how beautiful,’ and sitting in the shade.”

As usual my monkey mind jumps from one quote to the other. Undecided, I present a few haiku leaving it to the readers to discern which quote they suit best.
lilies
the gardener says
it's the end of season
**
summer storm
at the end of the day
just a leaf
**
yellowing leaf
how silently can we
say goodbye
**
roots
have I lost the
trail somewhere?
**
rain droplets
on the jade... perhaps
an afterthought
**
the falling
of a dead leaf
even the breeze
does not lend it
a cadence
**
deepening dusk
the red hibiscus
still so red
