'Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.....'

its sad when they close up at night,but its so nice when theyre open again in the morning.gives you a happy feeling.

Unless it's raining like today. Then they stay defiantly shut!!

Cracking flowers tho

They are the only summer bedding plants of mine that survived the heavy rain and high winds we had. Toughies!

My 15yr old nephew was looking at them and announced 'Wow their Cool'

Lol!! He knows his stuff then GG1!!

yeah at the mo he wants to be a chef, cooked me a great salmon and asparagus last week.

Sounds like a clever & focused lad. Don't like salmon tho but sure it was very nice!!

He's not so focused in school says he suffers from middle child syndrome.

??
Not heard of that one GG1

Oh yes the oldest gets priviliges and the youngest gets spoilt whilst the middle one gets ignored so tries to find ways to get noticed. I'm the middle child but don't think I suffered coz I'm the only girl.

Oh gotcha!

I am the yougest....mum still introduces me to carers in her home as 'my baby'....Noooooooooooooooooooooo!! Mum, I'm 41!! lol

It's a pity for him but their is a stigma attached to 'the youngest being spoilt' I suppose. I'm sure he'll grow out of it and realise the talents that he has will be more than enough to get the atttention he requires and no doubt deserves.

Kids eh??

I always knew my little bro was spoilt but it was never a prob and right up to my Dad dying a yr ago at 93 i could see the special bond he had with my useless older bro but we had father daughter bond so that was ok altho once in a while i wished I had a sister. i'm 46 my Mum was23 yrs younger than my Dad but died 17yrs ago age 54.
