This afternoon I watched the Women’s Six Nations rugby matches between England and France and between Wales and Italy. I lost a bet on the first game, the penalty being that I have buy a curry.
During the half time break in that contest I photographed a few flowers in the garden. Each image is entitled in the gallery. They include Welsh poppies, daisies, tulips Lilac Wonder, rhododendron buds, Camass,hellebores, euphorbia, wallflowers, heuchera leaves, and libertia.
Later I converted the last two posts of May 2014 from Classic to Block edits and changed their categories to Garden:
This evening we all dined on pizzas and fresh salad, with which I did not imbibe because I had drunk Doom Bar while watching the rugby.
I’ve not seen Heuchera leaves before. Autumn all year long!
Thanks very much, Rose
A great variety of beautiful flowers in your garden.
I thought perhaps the curry would be for dinner. 🙂
That will be on an outing, Merril. Thanks very much
You never mentioned who won the games.
That’s because I don’t want to spoil it for those who are waiting to watch recordings. Perhaps I can be cryptic and say I was happy I lost 🙂 Thanks very much, GP
hahhaha
Enjoy the curry!
I will when we all go out, Anne. Thanks very much
Beautiful but productive day…flowers, sports and pizza.
This morning here feels like gale force winds, but daylight not completely up, managed today’s list options yesterday.
Thank you very much, Catherine
I thought you would have bought a curry for dinner. ????. Beautiful pictures.
That is to be an outing with Becky and Ian, Pat. Thank you very much
Very beautiful photos, Derrick!
Thank you very much, John
I love the Tulip Lilac Wonder!
It is a great spreader, coming back each year, Liz. Thanks very much.
Even better! You’re welcome, Derrick.
I made it to the game. What was the bet?
I looked for you in the crowd. I nearly won, so I was happy.
Ha! Enjoy the curry! (I like those kinds of bets! With my Dad it was always for an ice cream cone. )
I love how the sun highlighted the gorgeous garden flowers! Love Euphorbia’s and Cammasia’s portraits! I think Cammasia is in the Asparagus family. What cool name…Cammasia Asparagus! (wink, wink!)
Any leftover pizza or salad? If so, pass it my way, please!
(((HUGS))) ❤️???? ❤️???? ❤️
Thanks very much, Carolyn X
You can’t go wrong with curry, no matter who lost or won the bet. 🙂
Quite so, Bridget. Thanks very much
PS…the ????’s were smiling sun emojis.
Oh, I was waiting to read about the curry for the evening meal.
It is to be an outing with Becky and Ian, Chrissy. hanks very much
Beautiful flowers! I especially like the Cammasia with it’s little stars. Since you had pizza and salad rather than curry, does that mean you won?
I lost – I won’t yet say who won the match. The curry will be an outing with Becky and Ian 🙂 Thanks very much, JoAnna
🙂
Beautiful flowers pictures.
Thank you very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
I love the purple and yellow flowers, very pretty.
Thanks very much, John
A lot of your garden flowers seem to be open quite early in the season, are you in a favourable micro-climate wherever you are in the UK?
Yes, Denzil. We are between Hampshire’s New Forest and the coast beside the Isle of Wight. Thanks very much
I’m another who loves the Lilac Wonder, what a beautiful tulip!
Thanks very much, Sue
What a beautiful selection of flowers, Derrick and Jackie! It is good to see your rhodie buds. Sigh. The deer attacked our rhodies this winter. One of them may be dead now.
Thank you very much from us both, Lavinia
Flowers are so missing in our garden, but seeing your beautiful colours makes it feel like Spring.
Thank you very much, Gary
Love the blossom shot
Thank you very much, Sheree
I hope you’ll enjoy the curry too 🙂 Gorgeous photos!
Thank you very much, Ribana
