It has been said many times on this forum, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could smell the flowers from the images posted here. Well hurray for the new Google Nose feature; http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en-GB/landing/nose/

Sadly I think this will be available for this morning only....

Am happy as Lewisia brachycalyx and Meconopsis napaulensis have both germinated - second lots of Meconopsis this year after having failed year after year.  Not sure what to do with them now but at least they germinated

Spring is in the air - even my 7 month old granddaughter felt so ! 


I think this deserves a "yes, I'm so happy !"
(credits for the picture go to the proud father) !

A flower among the flowers, Luc - what could be more lovely or more worthy of happiness?

That really is a scary cartoon baby unlike the one in the photo who is very pretty

Helen, I'm shocked at your comments   - that's no cartoon, that's a film from my babyhood!   My parents thought I was adorable.........

Tee Hee!
 Yes, you're right, the real baby is a cutie-pie of the first order!

I will refrain from mentioning the large head then!

I will refrain from mentioning the large head then! 

I should hope so - it's cruel to mock the afflicted

Made me smile and forget that I was up at 6 this morning to take my two to hockey training- in the school holidays, for goodness sake!

[Anthony Darby]

Up again at 6 on the hockey run, then off to Bethlehem by 8.30. Two and a half hours on the road and what better than to listen to Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610. I'd listened to the first disc twice by the time I got to Katikati, then onto disc two for the Ave Maris Stella and Magnificat and it was there by 11. Chat and lunch with two lovely people, Bill and Willi Dijk, with a tour of the nursery. A great day, and I came a way with a load of goodies.
