Mairi gave me some gladioli last week. She got them at Marks and Spencers which means that one knows they will be good for display and they will last a reasonable time if placed in a cool, location with good light.
Here they are in the entrance foyer and are a joy to the eye. Everyone comments on the unusual colour - pale pink with magenta streaks.
The hydrangea outside our window is a light strawberry red and the orange rose bush (which is in my line of sight when I sit at the dining room table) is in full flower behind it.
This is a close-up photo of the roses. Every week more flowers appear. It must be the good weather we have been having! The hydrangea and the rose bush were planted by Iain upstairs. As a former green-keeper and garden groundsman he takes a great interest in the welfare of these bushes.

What pretty flowers you show us. The roses are so delicate and exquisite. I do believe that there is something in the climate in your part of the world which is very good for the growing of beautiful flowers and gardens.
