Last evening, K brought home an armload of vibrant spring flowers for me. He chose a gigantic bouquet of irises, stargazer lilies and carnations because he knew that the flowers would lift my spirits. It was such a lovely, extravagant gesture and so typical of him. He understands the stress of working amidst tight deadlines and he knows how frustrated I am to be shackled to my desk when the blue skies and brilliant spring colours beckon me outdoors. Needless to say, I am overjoyed to have masses of spring blossoms adorning every available surface.

Unknow iris, a gift from Mrs Phillips, who called it the "brown" iris. Blooming at the back of the perennial bed.

We've been having LOTS of rainy days lately! At least everything will be green for a while!
