Close up of a rose, but the other roses were a bit further away so it looks ginormous!
Giant rose!

Flower of passion
We went out this afternoon for a shopping trip because I need new shoes. I managed to drive myself to the shopping village in Trentham. It’s been a month since I have been allowed in the car because of my eye operation. It’s only a couple of miles but it could have been fifty. I felt so anxious, but so pleased to get the skill back. Luckily I was with my sister so felt more confidence.
While I was at the village I saw this lovely passion flower. A good reminder of the day.
A cheerful flower
Marigold? I’m not sure. Taken 14 years ago, came up on Facebook memories. The brilliant orange makes me want to eat fruit! I think there’s a tiny bee or wasp sitting in it. I think it was taken on a digital camera not on my phone. Not bad memory. I can even remember my friends garden where the photo was taken.
Life affirming stories
What brings a tear of joy to your eye?
You know the type of story
You find a rose on your doorstep
Unrequited love?
Years later
After a long illness
And sad losses
The person who left it
Falls over in front of you
Conversation ensues
You find out
It was him!
He was nervous
He couldn’t tell you
We must get together
30 years of waiting
True love took its time
But eventually
Struck!
Last Gladioli flower
This morning the last flower on the Gladioli stem had fallen onto the path. I think someone had knocked it off as they walked past. I picked it up and put it on my step because I liked it’s beauty against the old peeling paint. It will soon fade and wither so I’m glad I captured it before it’s gone.
Life!
Florets unfurl
The hydrangea bursts
A firework flower
Bursting into life!
Floral
Taking a petal from my flower photos earlier. I decided to use my sketchbook app to try and create a floral pattern. The symmetry tool was used to create a nine sectioned flower. Then I coloured it in with symmetry and non symmetry. Finally I put this through a scenery filter in my Photodirector app. Not AI but definitely digital.
Monbretia, Crocosmia.
In bud, ready to flower.
Plants with strappy leaves
And trumpet flowers.
Some are so red they are named Lucifer.
Like dragons tongues..
Ready to catch fire…
Hosta!
My hosta has flowered and the slugs have left it alone. Yippee!
I want to show you
My garden is in bloom
Hanging baskets hung
Plants watered
Pots filled
Took two days
Need to weed
Overgrown ivy
Need to feed
All the plants!
I’ll try and show you
When I have Internet again
Meanwhile enjoy imagining
A riot of colour
Mixed with a few weeds!
