You signing off as Rachel Titchmarsh Radiostar made me laugh. You are a one! Lovely flower and colour. Just out of curiosity I know you don't like yellow flowers but does that include daffodils? It's just that I don't know anybody who doesn't like daffs and you might be my first daffodil non-lover that I know. xx
I love all flowers actually. I only try to grown blue and purple flowers for effect and they are my favourites! I've put some daffs in but only those mini creamy narcissistic ones!! I cannot abide cut flowers in my house. There's a few reasons. Mainly because they stink!! Daffodils hum but I love them. Lilies are the ones I dislike the most. They are not beautiful to me and the stench is unbearable. Cut flowers are not for me at all! They die and then there's slimy stem water to deal with. Cut Flowers also mean deathAnd I don't want any flowers at my funeral either! But I love to see flowers growing in gardens. I buy flowers as presents for people I know who love them. I appreciate the beauty of a beautiful bouquet - the one we got for my ma in law ( blues!! ) was absolutely stunning Just not for me!
Gorgeous Titchmarsh!
ReplyDeleteCan't take all the credit! Waitrose bulbs did their bit!

What a lovely flower Rachel. I do hope it hasn't blown away in this dreadful windy weather. X
ReplyDeleteIt's still there! Waitrose quality!!
DeleteFabulous!!! You are doing well Alan, sorry, I mean Rachel! xx
ReplyDeleteI remember bunging the bulbs in in October and hoping for a riot of colour! Let's hope there's more to come!
DeleteWhat a pretty little purple iris! I can't believe that spring flowers are already arriving. I have a bit of a wait! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteThe wait is always worth it!
Deletereally pretty. I told my husband I want our yard here in North Carolina to look like an English garden. Hmmmm now how to do that? LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat's the climate like in North Carolina?!! If it's cold and very rainy you are halfway there!!
