Peony Rose

Love 'em !! I've got one that's a touch darker :-))

beautiful colour!

I knew what it was once but I lost the label. I've lost my own label! Who am I?

Glad it's not just me !!! lol

GoY has just directed me to a photo posted by Gilli in Nov last year. They look very much alike but perhaps Gilli's appears just a little tighter.

lovely flowers :o)

Should really have said this earlier Ponty ... but .... do men suffer menopausal symptoms as well as women ? Memory Wise >> LMAO !
Sorry .... but have directed certain parties to hear your reply !! Tee hee hee !! x

Lol, Sue! I'm SURE they do!! If not worse! ;~))

I would say that mine are just a little tighter Ponty. But otherwise, the colour is probably the exact match. Mine are possibly older than yours? Maybe yours will get fuller as the plant matures. I have no idea what mine are called either. I rescued the original plant from a construction site where a new house was being built. It was just about to be run over by a bulldozer!! That would have been in about 2003. Now I have 4 large clumps and have just given another piece away. If yours is the same as mine, it is extremely vigorous. I love this colour too.

Get down Sue! You can't make a Welshman blush as easily as that! I simply suffer the occasional age-related aberration - so there!

Well saved, Gilli. They are both a super shade of red.

LMAO!! They're called CRAFT moments, ponty!!

Marie ... I'm waiting for him to ask !!!! LMAO

You'll have to explain that Madperth.

I'm ALSO sure that Gilli hasn't seen this bit yet !! lol

TOLD YA !!!!! LMAO !!!!

ROFLMHO !!!!!!

Hee hee! Should I tell him or not, Sue???
Okay! .....its.............
Cant Remember A F***ing Thing!!!
(That's flaming, maybe!!)

Personally ...... I prefer the Brummy/Scots version !! LOL

So do I, but I'm not allowed to put it on here! LMAO!!

OMG !!! Sorry for the delay ......
Been up ..... been down ...... God !! Wish I lived in bungalow !!

Or maybe it was the explanation of CRAFT that did it!

Thankyou for intimating that I am a Lady Marie ! ;-)))))

Only intimated not proven :~))

Hasn't been proven for the last 54 Pip !! No chance now !! Lol !!! xx

Snigger! Of course I was 'intimating' that you're a lady! Good choice of words, Sue! LOL!
Now get up off the floor!

Yes Ma'am !!! LOL ..... x

You'll injure yourself you know!! Lol!
It is SO good to be back to normal!!!!

INNIT !!!!!!! xxxxx

I have to say I was getting really bored with dodging dummies & toys! I get enough of that at work! But now all is serene for a bit, lets make the most of it!

And so say all of us !!!!! xxxx

Or so I thought til I read that blog you told me about, but we have the choice to ignore it!! Lol!
PM!!

ooh, you wicked lot of Ladies, I think Ponty must have retired to his potting shed..................LOL.

Unbelievable! I close down last night to go to Rotary Club and you lot start casting nasturtiums at my staying power.

Surely not nasturtiums Ponty. can't stand the things they go soggy and horrible when it's too wet :~))

Are we back to the Tena again Pip ????? lol ;-)))

No Sue just saying why I don't like Nasturtiums :~))

LOL ! I used to have some in the front garden and it took me years to get rid of them with all of the seeds that they shed !

Sorry if I confused you. Casting nasturtiums is just my unconventional way of saying casting aspersions - I just thought it was appropriate on a gardening theme (What was left of it!) :-))

LMHO :~)))
No confusion here !!!

Nor here Ponty !! lol You know us females are inclined to go off at tangents !!! ;-))

Tangents? In circles or round the bend more like!

I went round the bend years ago !!! lol ;-)))

Its all right, Ponty! I say 'casting nasturtiums' as well! And I like them! Mine are still blooming, despite the monsoon!
As for round the bend, Sue, it's great here, innit?? Lol!

It most certainly is Marie ! Wouldn't want to live anywhere else !!! lol ;-))

Me neither, honey!

Back from massaging.
Good to see YEW 2 R.BEAN nice to Ponty. (thought I take us back round the bend to gardening) LoL :~))

Love it Pip !! lol Can't promise we'll stay there though ..... the bend has many meanders !!! lol

I think mine has turned into a corkscrew!!!

I dunno Marie .... back to the booze !!!!! LOL ;-))))

LOL! That'll be the hangover from last night! Ouch! Had to go for a sleep!

The old 3 day/3 day thing again ?? Lol ;-))

Unfortunately it's more 1 evening/3 days!!
I slept all the way to Dundee this morning! Mind you, I'm amazed I got up & out the house in time!

I think I remember such things !! These days I don't have to get up !! LOL

:~)D~~~~~
I got up at 6.30! My 'lift' was still in Dundee so I had to bus it in!! :~(

At least it gave you a chance for a kip on the bus ! lol

True, I slept in the lecture hall too! :~}

Ooooo eeeerrr !!

Apparently I didnt miss anything!! Lol!
I woke up for the break & mainlined some coffee! Then we actually had something to do, so that kept me motivated! :~))

You're a better girl than I, Gunga Din !! lol

Hee hee! GF just asked my why everybody keeps calling him Lol!!
I'm still laughing!!

I've just seen that and I was tittering too !!!

I have decided that from now on I'm calling him Shakespeare!

Beautiful blooms
