Happy New Year

New Year wishes cartoon in extra pic for you.

I hope everyone can find a sunny place to just Be.

Three hours work this morning.  A dog walk in the countryside before the rain arrived ... but after the sun left!   A snoozy afternoon.  Some mildly productive time afterwards.   Not a busy day but a nice mixture to kick off the new year. 

A seed raised pot of Iris reticulata which unfortunately looks to have picked up a mosaic virus.  No cure.  Best option if it has is to remove it from the collection to avoid spreading the problem.  :-(   Flowers are so beautiful.   I will hand pollinate these flowers in the hope of getting fresh, clean seed.
