Rebirth

I was sorely tempted to go and buy new Cyclamen from the same source as last year as they were spectacular but Chris had saved them over winter and at least one was starting to flower so I brought them in. It would have been rude not to. 
Now, although not very big, 4 of the five are in flower.  The bigger one on the right was in the ‘selling off tray’ in the entrance to the garden centre where I bought the others last year.
I’m pleased they are already putting on a show as my Phalaenopsis orchids are just about finished. Can’t complain though as the one that had over 20 buds in April has only just finished and the striped one flowering here had three other buds which I accidentally broke off!

Anyway I thought they were worth celebrating with a blip.

Roses still blooming in the garden.
A very deep pink Shropshire Lad and the climbing rose, Maigold is having a late flourish!
