I have this ,haven't they been brilliant this year ,lovely photo Linda !

Yes, mine too Amy! Never seen so many flowers!

My friend Barbara gave me some this year.....I have pale pink too. She is going to give me some dark pink. She is at the local accident and emergency clinic after a bamboo cane snapped and caught her neck. She had seven stitches put in but it is looking as if an infection has taken hold. I am a bit worried about her.........the joys of gardening.

Ooooooh! That sounds horrible...hope Barbara gets well soon....could happen to any of us, Bamboo Canes can be tricksy things. :(

I have just been into the hospital to visit Barbara. The wound has turned nasty and they have to drain it. The concern is septicaemia. She looked as if she had been in a car crash but she hopes to get out of hospital today or tomorrow.

Good grief! poor Barbara! I bet she's had a real fright.

Karen.....they have found two and a half inches of bamboo cane in Barbara's neck. She was propping up a shrub so be careful.

Oh my goodness....that's incredible...that must have been really, really painful. Don't worry, I will be careful. I think canes are one of the things that cause a lot of accidents. I've nearly poked my eye a few times in the past. perhaps I'll get a short stake instead.
