Bigger and floppier, Sticki! I'll have to post a close-up for you.

No scent, Sticki, just a fabulous display. I'll post the close-up now for you.

You're very welcome. I really enjoy popping in here to see all the wonderful temperate and cold climate plants. They're just as fascinating to me.

Hmmm I don't think ours are as exotic but we love them all the same!

They may not be as exotic, but they're just as wonderful.

Sometimes simple is good, the lone daisy, a little clump of snowdrops etc.
