Flower of the week

[slomotion]

Poppy with raindrops - and we have had enough of the latter! Lets hope for summer to begin before it is too late. Hope you are all feeling positive today and even better - pain free.

[slomotion in reply to peck]

Oh! 90 degrees - you have reason to moan, I'm afraid I hate it too hot. However, we have had a disappointing summer, very wet and below average temps. My garden has suffered a bit but still it flowers - nature is great, survives while we dont. Hope you are feeling Ok and thanks for your comment. X Helen

Have you thought of entering that for the Countryfile Calendar? It's really good

[slomotion in reply to fenbadger]

I have but when I see the other entries my confidence takes a plunge. Maybe one day - you will have to vote for me though! X Helen

Wow, that is so lovely. Did you take that?

First day here without rain, so far!

Take care 🌺

[slomotion in reply to Hidden]

Yes, I take loads of photos - it has taken over from my more strenuous hobbies - had to give up bowls because of the dreaded fibro. X Helen

[Hidden in reply to slomotion]

You really have a talent though, I could see that photo framed and on a wall, it was lovely. 👍😊 yes I know what you mean, fibro means we have to adapt. Take care and have a good day 🌸

That's gorgeous. One thing I am pleased about in my new garden is that we have a very large Red poppy plant. Unfortunately the flowers are over now so just the seed cases but it was beautiful whilst it lasted. I love when raindrops form on Lupin leaves as well.x

[slomotion in reply to rosewine]

Yes, I love the diamonds that form in Lupin leaves and cant resist taking photos of them. X Helen

WOW! What an absolutely amazing photo my friend. Thank you so much for sharing. I do love poppies myself and have several different colours in my garden. I also have the Himalayan blue poppy which is spectacular.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Thanks Ken, I'm a bit jealous of your Himalayan poppy - have tried to grow them but the soil is now right in my garden. However, there are other fabby plants. X Helen
