A sun warmed brick wall...

I don’t know the name of this little climber but every year it seems to come from nowhere. It’s very pretty.

Three good things:
1. Another hot day...great for our walking exercise & then a good book in the afternoon!
2. Chicken soup made from our weekend Sunday lunch. Even though it’s warm it’s still good!
3. Talking about hens.

I have just had a google and found its called Lavortory creeper.. lol... perhaps you would of been better not to know.. but it is pretty..

[Lou Ann]

What a sweet vine.

@julzmaioro Really Julz....how very strange, it must have a better name than that poor thing surely! What a laugh! I’m mortified for the poor plant!

[Pat Knowles]

@julzmaioro No just checked this plant is very fine these are tiny little flowers & just a very thin stem...the Lavatory creeper looks much thicker stems & thicker on the wall. That’s my thought though I could be wrong. It looks more like an aubretia or sort of alpine plant! Even lobelia type...

Such a pretty little creeper - I remember it grew on the stone wall of the cemetery at home - but I haven't a clue what it was called !

[Lesley Aldridge]

It is pretty we have it too, not as much as that though.

[Sue Cooper]

A beautiful capture of this very pretty plant. It looks particularly lovely on the brick wall.

[Bep]

Looks beautiful against the wall.

@julzmaioro @louannwarren @beryl @countrylassie @susiemc @gijsje

My granddaughter Alex in NZ has cracked it. She is an Agriculture Manager so has an App to help her check out weeds she’s not sure of when walking around crops.
It’s an Ivy leafed toadflax. Cymbalaria Muralis.

Thanks Alex! 😘

[Beryl Lloyd]

@happypat Good - toadflax comes to mind now that you have mentioned it ! Pat So good to be able to find out these things, whether we shall remember it ! ha ! Well done Alex .

[Maggiemae]

Never heard of it - good to have someone who can give the answer. It must obviously like to bake in the sun on that warming brick wall!

[julia]

Bit better name.. one that you will remember.. 🌷

[Phil Howcroft]

it looks good against the red brickwork Pat

[Babs]

It is beautiful, such tiny delicate flowers.

[Issi Bannerman]

It does look warm. Nicely spotted and a lovely capture.

That title is just so Summery! I have to say, it is more tolerable to go through Lockdown now than it would have been in the cold, wet and Winter, eh? Thankful for small mercies. How's your sis in law now?

[Pat Knowles]

@casablanca She got special medication to get rid of the long term infection in her kidney Casa. She seems to be much better....sitting in the sun in Cumbria enjoying my brothers cooking! Thanks for asking. Another negative CD19 test so all seems well. This weather is lovely. I came back with a tan & I have more now....long hair & a brown face...a sixty of hippy look! 😳

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot. The pretty flowers look very tiny.

[Casablanca]

@happypat Oh so glad to hear that. Hopefully the medication will sort her out now. Ha ha, love the idea of the hippy look! I will just grow some new freckles. I always look I have sunbathed under a tea strainer LOL!!

[Phil]

Lovely shot, looks so pretty against the red brick
