Flowers, outside and in.

 We've had a bit of wind so this is how my foxgloves ended up :(
almost flat but still quite pretty. I know some people consider them a weed but I like them. You just have to get them out of the ground before they throw all of their seeds.


Blurred, but this is a bee gathering nectar
 in the cup of one of the foxgloves.


A lovely Japanese iris.


And this is a elegant bearded iris, knocked off it's stalk when the boys were kicking a ball around.


A couple of peonies cut from the garden after 
the wind had knocked them around.


And all that remains of a bunch of roses one of my neighbours 
gave my little mother. A pretty, delicate pink colour.


Since Mum has had the stent put in her health has improved immensely. So much so that she has decided to go home while she waits for her main operation date. I will check on her daily, she is only 5 miniutes away and my brother is even closer to her. I think she will cope okay as long as she doesn't try to do too much. Thank you for all your prayers and care, we appreciate it very much.
