It all depends on how it's being lit Pat ... if the sun's shining through it it's red ... if the sun has sunk lower then it's grey ... lighting is so important
Hosta ... are you about this morning? This'll cheer you up ...
Looks healthy to me ... and very beautiful

Dove, that does indeed cheer me up. I was dreading the thought that I'd spread Canna virus your way.
My horrible day was followed by a horrible night of hardly any sleep, followed by an early morning call from Hubby. " Oh. wasn't that you who just called me? " " No, I was asleep" " Sorry "
The weater this morning is vile , vile , vile. Very windy, very overcast and very rainy.
I think I will really have to slap the next person who says " It's too hot" within my earshot.
Hosta ................ thank you ............... you're obviously a saint .................. you're using up all the horrible weather so that it's glorious when we head west at the end of the month xx

But by the time we get to yours the sun will be shining and everything will be lush and green
Joyce ... I'd never grown cannas before ... this one was a present from Hosta ... and I've managed to over-winter it and get it to bloom again
And have you noticed that beautiful buttery-yellow and green hosta behind it ... it's called Stained Glass and we bought it from Burncoose when we were down there a couple of years ago ... thanks to Hosta telling me to give it more sun it's looking fabulous this year

Mmmmmm! Dove. You're right of course, but I do try to be good.
There is the strangest cloud appearing on the east.
two minutes later I had to go out and take another photo
its completely grey now. Strange.

Dove, bring wellies. It's sodden.
Lovely colour of Canna, Dove.
Prefer that to the "in your face" ones.
Wet suits and snorkels on order
