Wet Weather Cheer Up

I think that most of Great Britain has had heavy rain over the last two days. It has been rather like Autumn with the dark evenings and the chilly air. So I thought today some cheerful flower pictures were needed to stop us all feeling blue. When I visited mum's last week the sun was shining and I turned the camera on her garden.

There is quite an array of colours but the agapanthus certainly stand out.

These midnight blue ones actually belong to my sister. My mum is long term plant sitter for them while my sister is living in the States for a few years. She wanted me to take a picture for Julie so everyone else can enjoy them too!

She has quite a few of her own too.

This next slightly striped one called Charlotte is a new acquisition this year. I came across it in the greengrocers. The lady in front of me in the queue had picked one up so I too bought one each for mum and myself.

The white ones are only just emerging 

This next one called Double Diamond was a present from us for their Diamond Wedding a couple of years ago. 

I am always however attracted back to the blue.

And it seems I am not alone there!

Then there seems to be wild strawberry thief amongst these...

Caught in the act!
