What a luverly bunch ....

Hubby was given a bunch of flowers today for me … in thanks for a favour he had done someone … lucky me to get the reward!
As he walked back to the car he met a female friend & when she saw them she said ’ Oh boy … you must be in trouble for something!’ as she thought he’d bought them as an apology!
I came home from work to find them already in a vase of water too!
Lilies … yellow & white … I wish I had smelly vision on my laptop for you … they are so fragrant! … with 3 yellow roses…
Then I went outside to water the garden & found things were looking bright & cheerful again after a few days sun … the crocosmia …
And the little blue Greek wall pot is completely covered in purple!
The balloon flowers are doing better than ever before …
I’ve moved the tinkling toadstools cos they never tinkled properly …
The verbena is so bright & colourful …
The clematis has gone way up to the bird house …
Oh … & this is what you get if you put whole potatoes in the compost bin & then use it on the garden!!
This is Michael’s bench … you wouldn’t know I was married to an ex – serviceman would you? Look at the state of that brass! Tsk tsk!!
No spuds here!!
And lastly I found this on the decking … what a lovely surprise!
Reminds me of Greece!
Then I went up to bed early as I’m shattered these days & this beauty was just showing up over the fields…
Thru’ the shufty scopes …
And a train went by but it was too fast for me!!
That was all 2 days ago … tomorrow is Friday again … thank Crunchie!! :o))

Isnt it lovely to get little surprises. I dont know about your toadstools never tinkling Fluff but I think the sound of our waterfall is throwing me in overdrive, as I`m always tinkling.lol.

Lucky you, Fluff, to reap the rewards ! My OH would have left them in a bowl of water ... I love those balloon flowers. Hope you have a restful weekend. : o )))

29 Jul, 2010
Wow, what a gorgeous blog, your garden looks like a riot of colour. I love seeing other people's bright gardens! Well done Fluff!

Fluff your garden is a picture thanks for the peek and the flowers from your oh, beautiful. I love the toadstools which I have always wanted but worry about our grandson breaking them !!! :0))

Lovely Fluff, and you sound so happy. No wonder with such a profusion of flowers in your garden and then a lovely bouquet too.
I know the lilies smell lovely, but their pollen does stain, so be careful of the carpet.
Oh yes, I love the Platycodon.

Lovely blog and photos love the bunch of flowers you recieved.

Thank you everyone ... Friday evening has arrived hooray!!!
Thanks Seaburn ... I must dig them up & see what's underneath! ;o)
Yes Cristina .... a good day that ended with a bunch of loveliness! :o))
Nite Tulsa ... thank you... hope you had a peaceful kip! :ozzzzz
Lol Stroller ... I would LOVE a waterfall in the garden but I know what you mean! Even our little water feature has that effect! :o/
Shirley ... thank you ... I intend to spend all day Saturday in the garden which is restful to me after a hard week's work ... why oh why are candles still so popular?! :o?
Hi Elsiemay ... thank you ... how is sunny Norfolk? I love my toadstools! :o))
Pip C! How are you? Yes there are still one or two colourful corners in the garden! Thank you! ;o)
Grandmage ... the toadys are fairly robust ... & you could always tell the grandchildren they belong to the fairies & musn't be touched! Thank you for your comments. :o)
Thank you Mad ... I will be careful with the pollen ... in fact I cut the stamens out as the pollen is dangerous for the cats & a florist friend told me they last longer without them. The garden flowers do make us feel happy don't they? Don't you think Platycodon is a very stark name for such a pretty flower?!
Sounds more like a dinosaur!! ;o))
Hi Carole ... thank you ... yes I am very lucky to be given flowers! :o)))
30 Jul, 2010

30 Jul, 2010
I'm fine Fluff! I wish my garden was a good as yours though - still, spring is almost upon us here in Oz so it's going to be seeds, annuals, and more seeds. Wish me luck! :o~

I do Pip I do! Funny to think you are approaching Spring! I can't believe what a lovely summer we're having ... it's been a long time coming.
We had some of the wet stuff last night Elsiemay ... not a deluge but half a water butt!

Wonderful blog, Fluff, and your garden looking so good! Over here in my part of Wilts we despately need rain, everything really dry! What a lovely bunch of flowers, even nicer when they were so unexpected! Enjoyed your great blog :~))
9 Aug, 2010
Thanks Flori! We haven't had much rain either ... the lawn is cracking open & if I'm not very conscientious with the watering cans things wilt like mad! It keeps threatening rain with big, dark clouds but nothing happens. That last quick downpour was all we've had & it never touched the pots!
