We have an expression in Swedish that doesn't have an exact equivalent in English. I would say about these dahlias that they "sjunger på sista versen", which literally means "singing the last verse". Trying to find an equivalent in English, the nearest I come is that they're "on their last legs". (?) - But I guess both expressions can apply: both to flowers still keeping upright, even if some of their neighbours have already given up, and also to trees still hanging on to the major part of their leaves, while knowing the next storm may change that all to quickly...

Grand Finale: "A particularly elaborate, high-energy, or spectacular ending, often featuring special effects like fireworks or a full ensemble."
I like the Swedish version of the last verse, maybe the last hurrah, rather than the last leg! There is some pinnacle reached when its beauty is about to be extinguished.
ReplyDeleteThe chestnut tree is gorgeous. And the trees have such pretty leaves. Your saying is so much nicer than the way it is said here! I love Dahlias.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful trees and dahlias. We have Rowan trees here, we call the Mountain Ash, and we also have Golden Ash and Claret Ash, though I sometimes wonder if the Claret and Mountain Ash are the same tree.
ReplyDeleteThe autumn colours are beautiful. The last verse can often be the most rousing!
