It's evening already! :shock: We've had an entire, dry day and I've got lots done outside. It's beginning to rain again now, so I have to pack up...
The lily's my favourite, but those hollyhocks are real beauties too. :D
Awww, he's a delight to see! :D I wonder if he's taking a shower.
Lovely plants, look at all those green soon-to-be-delicacies! Hm. If I ever get a green house I shall have to hire somebody to come and show me...
Mmmm, those look a bit like those we call almond potatoes because of their shape. The best potatoes I can get! I need to get me a potato field...
Congratulations on your water source, well done! It looks like a lot of hard work to me, I must confess.

Just needed to tell you that a Norwegian gardening magazine had a figure like that, but with angel wings, in one of their articles this month....
That's a very attractive piece of garden junk! :D I've no idea what you ought to do with it, but it really is a pretty thing.
I've been thinking. (Yes, I brag. :lol:) The only thing I can think of with such enormous flower spikes are Eremurus and agave. I couldn't find...
What do you mean "bad news"? I like puzzles. :) Guess I'm a big child in that respect.
I found a link to a butterfly resembling the last one: Ursi's blog.
I've never thought about doing that, I've just presumed the hen would die off anyway. Please let me know if it works.
Which zone are you in? Were the flowers on the stalk or sort of dispended from the stalk? Did you see any leaves at all? If you did, were they...
