Oh yes, the striped backdrop is very effective Chris. Do you also call hydrangeas 'Christmas roses'?

[Chris K]

@_catherine_ thankyou Catherine. No, I have never heard hydrangeas called Christmas Roses

@karlow75 thanks Karl but no need to be jealous of me as it wasn't in my garden :) my poor old roses really struggle with my neglect

[Rosemary]

The petals look like lots of lovely pink lips
