Later in the day we went for a 3 mile walk as part of my weight loss regime and looked around The Dingle.
This is the ornamental flower garden in the Quarry Park. Percy Thrower, the original T.V. gardener, was Parks Superintendent from 1946 to 1974 and the floral displays around the town are fantastic.

Back home I have been very pleased at how well my orchid is flowering. I saved it from the dustbin a couple of years ago and this year at has really put on a show.

| I'm glad I decided not to throw this one away. |

| A bumble bee flew into the sitting room to visit the flowers. |
Unfortunately the following morning when Paul put his foot into his gardening shoe...
OW!!
The bee was asleep in the toe and gave him a nasty sting!
Beautiful colourful pictures and (really sorry Paul) that last line made me (literally) laugh out loud LOL :-)
ReplyDeleteI expect Paul was in his element in that first picture. I loved the mauvy pink alstromeria and "Indian summer". Did you know they are rabbit proof, but not sheep proof. I loved the story of the orchid and how you rescued it. It certainly likes your care and attention. I have just rescued three from Toby and Amanda`s move....where they will all go, I do not know as I already have 3 on the bathroom windowsill where they thrive. Wonder where you keep yours.
