In the UK we don’t use the word ‘fall’ but if you say that sentence using ‘autumn’ it just feels lumpy and as someone has already said ‘fall’ works better with ‘collapse’. So I’m plumping for a UK wordsmith using a US term.

I hope it helps, even if it’s just a little bit. Can you find some real flowers with scent, that may make you smile?

My hibiscus has just started producing buds. I just hope it gets to flower before the weather turns. First years flowering so it might be a bit earlier next year. 🤞. Yours is lovely so worth the wait.
