look what grew in my garden!

Actually the flowers looked far better yesterday but with a birthday to mark, I really couldn't do a plant shot!

Anyway they will be there again tomorrow, or so I thought...when the reality is that their beauty is just fleeting - two days if that, already the brown has started to show. Who knew that I didn't have time on my side? Probably any half decent gardener but as these flowers are a triumph over neglect, I certainly have been delighted by them yet now saddened that it passes so quickly. Will there be more?

Talking about the circle of life, my day has been taken up with decisions and organisation for a funeral and a wedding. Life really moves along at a frantic pace doesn't it, and sometimes one (me!) really needs to be reminded to just stop and smell those flowers before it is all too late...
