'sour grapes'

A bit of an unkind name for this penstemmon, I think.

How lovely to see Jinks on PP this morning. He's not interested, of course, but just whingeing here behind me for his breakfast. Must check with Ray, don't want us both to give it to him as we did yesterday.

Jinks said not a word, scoffed two breakfasts (one before and one after his morning walk) and was still ready for 'lunch' (half a bonio) at midday.

What's that about a dog's life?

Such beautiful flowers and a lovey capture. I agree, they should have a better name.

[Rosie Kerr]

Such a delicate color and super details. They are not well served by their name, though.

Lovely capture with pretty colours and detail.

He is a crafty boy.......thinks you might fall for that one twice! Lovely striped throats of the penstammon!

A lovely capture, but I just thought it was a foxglove? Jinks' craftiness made me smile!

Wendy, pleased to hear from you as I noticed you'd not posted for a time. I've now read the comments under your anniversary photo. Hope you will soon feel much better.

Lovely capture. Mr Jinks deserves PP and I'm not surprised he didn't mind having breakfast twice yesterday

What a pretty shade and lovely composition. I noticed some buds on ours today and look forward to them blooming as they are one of my favourite flowers in the garden.
