Constantly amazed . .


I continue (thankfully) to be appreciatively amazed by flowers -
from the tissue-paper-thin petals of this (I think!) Hollyhock



and the multiple budded, hardy, striking Agapanthus,



to the quite extraordinary Grevillea, and


the simply elegant, ever popular Rose.

    It makes me feel all warm inside to see these lovely blossoms when outside my window the world looks kind of grey. :)

    Oh I can tell the weather is different on your side of the globe -the Aganpanthus blooms here in April/May, and so does the Grevillea! Make me crave for Spring to start!
