“You know why trees smell the way they do?” Murphy asked, looking up from her hammering. “Sap?” Logan guessed. “Chlorophyll?” Murphy shook her head. “Stars. Trees breathe in starlight year after year, and it goes deep into their bones. So when you cut a tree open, you smell a hundred years’ worth of light. Ancient starlight that took millions of years to reach earth. That’s why trees smell so beautiful and old.”

Oh, you are in the ongoing wintertime! On one hand I do not like to tame the nature ... on the other hand, these hedges are an artwork. And a beautiful photo as always.

That looks really beautiful, even in autumn
Enjoy your weekend

How lovely! It's very pretty with the flowers inside the hedge.
Nice contrast between the hedge and the flowers, Gemma.
Thanks for participating in the Friday Greens meme!
