Sunshine After The Rain.

Lovely photo's Louise........

Hi Louise, we've had a quiet day here but very grey,this afternoon one shower which didn't last long. It's lovely to see you still have a lot of colour around. I love the Alaqua
I've never grown one are they hardy ?

Georgeous photos Louise, and such colour in a dull day is uplifting!

Thanks Milky :-)
Stripes, they are here in the south, well, in 'my' garden at least so i'm sure they'd be fine there too.
Antigone, you're SO right about the colours being uplifting !
That Hemerocallis would make a nice drawing, don't you think ? You'd make a nice job of it :-)

Yes yes yes! I just need a bit of time at the mo.... inspiration is all around. Like Hywel's passiflora too...... but sometimes I think I can't improve on nature with a drawing, have to get my own interpretation going and that takes a bit of time and effort (and many sketches and try-outs that end up in the bin!)

Beautiful photos, Louise :o)

Thank you Terra :-)

Weather map shows full sun over our neck of the woods for tomorrow & Tuesday Louise! Your flowers still look lovely despite their shower.

Lovely photos Louise. I like the way that plants show different features with differing elements such as the rain on the Hemerocallis, the petals showing their skeleton and the raindrops on the others look like jewels

Smashing photo`s Louise................

Fluff, hurrah - thanks for that you've made my day !!!
Thanks for the kind words Pipsqueak and Lincslass :-))

Beautiful pics as always from Louise....sometimes the rain enhances the blooms in the garden as long as it doesn't stay around for too long....lol

We've had rain all day aswell. Your photos are lovely :o)

Absolutely awesome set of pics Louise. Lovely to still see some colour out there.

Got to have a clean up in mine tomorrow!

Lovely Louise :) it just kept on raining here :(

Thanks everyone for those kind comments :-)

Beautiful Louise, I do like the Lily, very nice. :~))

I especially like the coreopsis, Louise....must have a go at growing those, I think they'd do well.

Tipping it down here today, what the Scots call 'dreich' and a perfect word for it!

;-)

Oh dear, i'll whisper that we've got warm sun and clear blue skies then ;-)

Swine! I HEARD that!
