This beautiful flower is the emblem of Gardening Scotland (not the thistle, as you might think).

Hi Lori - am still looking 4 that recipe, lol! Well, am about to write a little blog about this fantastic show. I took exactly 283 pics, but am narrowing this down all the time to just a sample of the good 'uns! Just enough to remind me of it. Was glad to get back to work yesterday for a rest, haha!

Hi, again, Lori. I took a pic for you, of baby gunnera amongst blue irises, by a stream, but it didn't turn out at all good.
