Sorry Alp, I went and deleted my post but reposted one. I just had to remove the picture with my ugly foot in it.

 

[alp]

Haha! That's happened to me. I literally had myself in the photo caught by a cunning mirror. Thank heavens that I removed it very quickly. Shame I missed that.

From my old camera, but this is a flower opening just this morning.

I have despatched some sluts

Did you actually kill them, or just ask them to move along?

"I have despatched some sluts"
I hope they show up at my place. They won't soon forget the experience of me sitting them down, grabbing my Bible and delivering a sermon that will make them sweat for a week.

Wondered how @alp was able to see into the future..,thought she must have had a vision that @johnny canoe was going to post a pic of his gorgeous hanging baskets.

Well we are having on and off rain showers today, so decided on a housework day.... mainly tackling no.1 son's bedroom while he's away.

Just taken my sister to Asda......quite impressed with their wicker hanging baskets all planted up with summer bedding...£5 for smaller ones and £10 for the larger size . thanks

Loved your last post @johnny canoe .

Oh!.......and the 1st one too lovely pics

@MaryMary ......so long as they haven't been despatched in my direction , amazing how far they will travel when on a mission for food

Shame I don't have @johnny canoe 's humor. Execution without reflection. I have 1/3 of my newly planted petunia made skeletal by these critters. They can't die soon enough.

A streptocarpus Blue Leyla

First lilies

The back of Wild Swan - love the stripes on the back

Love this lilac delphinium

@johnny canoe lovely garden.i have to have the narrow butts, can't fit the bigger ones. Got a lot of blueberries in pots, use it for them.
@alp lovely poppy. I used to grow them, but they get very untidy after.

 

[alp]

I know what you mean, @Logan A lot of stalks to compost. But this year, I want to see if they will rebloom again.

 

[Logan]

@alp if you dead head them straight away they should flower again in the autumn.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Do they !!!!!!!!, we get overrun by them so I keep pulling them up.I just thought ( well....until now ) that they are lovely for a short while then hang around looking a complete mess.....will now think again and give a reprieve to the few left. Thanks @Logan .

I'm closer to @johnny canoe. Tulips still bloom here.

And city parks.

 

[alp]

You're quite right, just like @johnny canoe , your tulips are in lovely form. Are they gorgeous. Much more interesting than daffs. Hope they look OK after the storm. @Larisa

 

[Larisa]

I hope so too. Now the quince is flowering.

Iris.
