Pink bliss

Sending flowers

Fiery (f)red

          Test match cricket on the radio and gladioli in full bloom.

Glad all over

King crimson

Autumn in the air for a while now and with it, the deep crimson of a gladioli; much less blousey than the pink and peach-coloured ones. The orange crocosmia spreads like fire despite the rain showers.

Sunshine & showers

                  Sunshine and showers bring out the gladioli.

While I'm in animation mode, here's one I did a few years ago to accompany an ambient audio project I recorded under the name 'Placebo Audio'.

I harvested a couple of buds from each artichoke to eat earlier in the year and now the remaining flowers are all open, still attracting bees and comments from passers by.



Gladioli don't last very long, especially if they're thrashed around a Top Of The Pops studio by Morrissey, or in the rain, so I took nearly half of them home to enjoy indoors.



Way too many runner beans to cope with at the moment and the freezer's filling up.



Sunflower season's here - some single and giant, some multi headed. The big uns are reaching 10 ft.
