Violas I planted in April

Ellianne and Aldom I always come to this thread via "Active" but it had slipped off the bottom and I was trying to remember which forum it was in. I finally came back to it via "I'm on" and that's when I noticed it was under "Games".

As people had been complaining (again) recently about the games threads filling up the "active" list, I wondered if they had actually arranged for them to be automatically removed from it.

It would have surprised me if they had done that - there are far more pressing matters to be tended to first.

Iris, in the restaurant area of the Westgate, Oxford. A stunning sight.

How lovely Aldom. It is soo cold here today, hugging the fire and it is getting dark already, not even 5 p.m.

My granddaughter grew this! She was worried Peter Rabbit might eat it.
(Good film by the way.)

This is part of a garden where we had tea and cake on Friday - I wish it was mine!

Super carrot. Will it be eaten? I loved Peter Rabbit One. My grandson recently saw Peter Rabbit Two. He loved it.

I remember my great- aunt, born in the 1880s, showing me how to make poppy dolls in the 1950s, with poppies from her garden.

When it’s hot!

As I can't get to France this year, I've made France come to me.

I visited a terminally ill relative on Sunday. These beautiful Iris are growing in his pond.

Sorry, I forgot to attach the photo.

Great picture Parsley!

A rose from today’s NT walk. An odd one, the paths always went up and never down. How does that happen?? .

This is the fishing lake a few minutes walk along the canal from Stourbridge!

One of my favourite spots flowers - geum Mrs Bradshaw.

Spots??

cornergran I can almost smell the perfume of that Rose... it's beautiful

Red hot pokers at the beach.

Some of the garden lights. These ones have a remote control with a selection of many colours.

MiniMoon I like your garden lights. Very pretty.
I planted this rose ten years ago when I moved to this house. It's called New Dawn.
