Thorneyside, send me a PM and I will see if I can open it (10.57 today).

 

Thank you Hywel and FF...homemade quiche so much more delicious.

 

I can't get into messages either. I have new message but when I press, it tells me there's a problem with Grows on you. Hopefully it'll sort itself out. Here's what comes up:-

We've made a mistake

Looks like something isn't quite right with Grows on You.

Please try again, and we're sorry for the inconvenience

 

That looks a lovely cafe. I like the plates too, and the wallpaper. Ty for sharing your visit with us, pity we couldn’t sample the quiche & cake too!

 

Yes! He was a great member.i miss him.

Klahanie,

Thanks for the information. It’s syrup.

I used to have a hummingbird feeder when I was lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, I used 2 parts water to 1 part of plain suger.

 

Thanks 🙏 !

This is the smaller plant of the two orchids.

 

Thank you all . I appreciate your nice comments.

 

I looked at your temperatures in England and was surprised by the difference between your daytime and night temps.
You are warmer than us during the day but cooler during the night.

 

Lucky you Delonix.
We have one hummingbird building a nest right now...pulling a fluff from my knitted blanket. It is little too early for them here.
Hummingbird juice is 1 part of sugar and 4 parts of water.
We bring it to broil and after couple of minutes its done.
You probably do not have to make it because there are plenty of flowers in your area year round.

 

That's all we can do really.

 

Gorgeous Hellibores Klahanie.

 

Thanks Shirley ... We'll wait and see then ! :(

 

What a relief that the Deer ignore them ... :o)

 

Karen, do you remember a GoY member called David who came from Fife? I hadn't been a member for very long and complained about all the Grape Hyacinths that grew in the borders here. He was a gardener on a big estate and envied my cache of them.

Long story short, a couple of shoeboxes full went from me to him ... :o))

Thank you .X

 

Lovely orchid Delonix

 

That is a beautiful poppy Julia. I love poppies. I just bought bunch of seeds of poppiess (annuals). I think this in your picture is perennial, right.?

 

Shirley, Deer do not touch them. That is why I have lots of them for early spring blooms. Deer snoop every plant and pot I have around and leave these alone...Even few I have inherited are blooming and we live here since 2003.
Thank you for liking them.

 

Looks like it’s sterile too, so loads more flowers .

 

lol! I don’t care for them in the ground tbh Shirley, but in pots they seem so cute!

From its position I would say it’s probably grown toward the light. There’s forest on a steep bank behind me as I took the photo, and the open lake on the other side. I think it is is pretty sheltered there.

Klahanie, will the Deer leave them alone? I do hope so as they're such pretty flowers.

 

You have bought some lovely Hellebores.

 

Very attractive.

 

I agree, they're stunning.

 

Oh great, now GoY is sending you my comment twice, grrr!

Karen, I would be happy with all bar the Grape Hyacinths. I can never explain what it is I dislike about them, but there it is ... :o)

I wonder if the wind has blown this to that angle.

This is a lovely collage of some very pretty flowers.

 

Such a beautiful flower.

 

Thanks Klahanie, another frost yesterday and this morning but it doesn't linger as the sun gets on it. I have worked a little in the garden today ... :o)

 

Definitely. Today is actually quite pleasant in the sunshine. I have re-sited a Rosemary shrub from a pot to the front garden. I was very surprised to find three snails lurking at the bottom of the pot, in the crock ... :o(

 

Klahanie, many thanks for looking in. We visit there three or four times a year, to see all the different flowers through the seasons.

 

Dave has responded to my message (super quick - thanks Dave) and has asked the techies for advice.

 

What a cutie pie bird!

What’s hummingbird’s juice?

I have a hummingbird nest with two babies in my Jungle Dragon Acalypha right now. January and February is hummingbirds’ nesting season here.

 

I have the same problem Shirley.

 

Pretty and interesting place to go for walk.Thank you for posting.

 

:o))
