Is it a square? 🙂 🙂 I think we’ve only got pink ones and very humbled they are. I’ve avoided the back garden for the past few days but there are daffs bobbing on our front, despite what the weather threw at them.
Sunny this morning! 🙂
It is a square, but I have only just noticed that the centre is a circle. Not part of the challenge. Although the plant revived last week I’m not sure it will be happy after yesterdays coating of snow and ice. Frigid wind today, but a slow thaw.
Oh, you were slow there! But then, you’ll be all scheduled. I have to wing it cos I’m not so organised. 🙂 🙂
Scheduled indeed 🙂 But I aim to take time off from blogging next month.
Ah-ha! A holiday 🙂 🙂 I’ve lost track with where you are when, though I’m sure you must’ve told me.
No holidays booked this year. Yet. I want to do some local exploring before the crowds surge down here.
I keep thinking about surging but I’m easily sidetracked. 😦
Took your comment on board and now my home thoughts have thoughts attached. See what you think on Thursday. Think the American postcards will remain as just that, in the main.
It’s always amazing to see the close up detail of flowers.
Wonderful shot Jude 😀

Thank you Laura.
A brave flower indeed to brave the terrible weather being thrown at it.
I shall have a look and see how they are faring after the second snow dump and freezing temperatures. They are hardy souls, so should come back OK next year.
It’ll pop back up next year and be fine
Hope so!
