Carnations by beryl

Carnations

A bunch of Carnations doing their own thing ,after been in the house foe over 2wks .I took some photos this afternoon -but flagged before downloading them !!-Why !! Well Alfie was in a desperate need for a trim -but unfortunately Alfie was not very obliging today Hence after quite a struggle I left him looking rather like the Spec Savers advert !! - perhaps not quite so bad -but at least unfinished Shall finish him off tomorrow before the neighbours see him -lol !!
Wish you had posted a half cut Alfie Beryl!!! Your carnations are very colourful....I wasn't too keen on carnations at one time but must say the newer varieties are much more full & these have beautiful arching stems.

@happypat Must confess Pat !! -the arched stems is due to going over !! but I gave them some fresh water as I quit like this look !! As for Alfie's hair trim photo -you must be joking !! he's been in hiding ever since between the armchair & the radiator !! where he thinks I can not get him !!--if he only knew I am too shattered to struggle any more with him tonight !!

Isn't it funny how we've both thought about doggie haircuts today. Poor Alfie perhaps a shot tomorrow? Lovely colour to your carnations.

@malc Thank you Malc -I think it's me that's in the dog house tonight - or even been sent to Coventry by King Alfred !

I'd like to see Alfie too! The carnations are pretty but Alfie's story and your Spec Savers comment has had me laughing here!

Beautiful colour carnations which make a great shot in the vase. Hope to see newly-trimmed Alfie in due course. (I always have to trim Jinks in two or more sessions as he hates it!)
