Lovely set. Sunflowers are a real pick-me-up. We used to have a few in our garden which I have photos of. I missed these last night in my rush to finish off the last of my Lake Magiorre photos because I'm banned from being on here after a negotiated 10.00pm shut down. I posted mine at 2156...lol

My wife can't get to sleep because of my study light and my, as she calls it ,'tippy-tapping' on the keys as I post.

I see I have 30 minutes left. I'll maybe have to negotiate a 15 minute extension

..We do live in harmony because of compromise and almost no division of labour. I am banned though, from ironing and also cooking most meals..

I can't move to another room as my iMac..27"... is in my study and can't be moved and it's too hard on the iPad.

I see it's 10.28pm. . ........Goodnight ..

Ah OK I had assumed, wrongly as it turns out, that you had taken a laptop / ipad to bed with you.

I didn't know sunflowers came in "small" this is less than an inch across ( that's 25 mm in new money)

Thank's for the new money conversion

We have a few tiny sunflowers

Thank's for the new money conversion

You are most welcome

We have a few tiny sunflowers

The proper ones are approaching a foot across ( that's about 300 mm in new money )

I always thought that sunflowers were 1 flower per stalk.
It seems not, this one is 7 headed

Finally a multitude of colours from the sweet peas.
It took long enough, but they got there.
Just 2.
