Babiana stricta

My collection of South African bulbs has been providing colour and interest in the greenhouse since early autumn.  Just a few late flowering bulbs still to come, the one of them.   Many (but not all) South African bulbs have brightly coloured flowers, this one is very pink!   hardy enough for a cold greenhouse in coastal Wales, it would have needed winter heat to keep frost at bay in Norwich where I used to live.

A gently busy day off.  A lovely walk with C and the Megs this morning was followed by a visit  to pottery to roll out some clay and a few admin chores done at home before lunch.  While the sunshine continued this afternoon I worked in the garden, weeding and sorting a few things in the greenhouse.  I also started the next pottery project, another, differently designed clock case.

Singing tonight was good as usual.  I always come away feeling a little lighter :-)
