Yes, this is flower week. Home late from work after a very successful meeting (it's usually an oxymoron, "successful meeting"), so only time to grab a quick shot, and these were close to hand.
Lovely colours, Peter. Your thumbnail view of the beginning of the month is looking really nice, too. (Glad you had a successful meeting, I've had a few of those, too. I like it when that happens.)
Another gorgeous flower portrait...was reading Matthew Parris's article yesterday re. the BBC4 program you mentioned.........really interesting and moving.
