It's stopped now here. More forecast this evening . Finally managed to get a proper cut done on the grass yesterday. Edging with the strimmer today when it dries off a bit.
I wouldn't mind the rain so much if it wasn't cold

Plus note 2: 2 wee spikey friends on the terrace last night.. Might it be mother and baby, or 2 siblings? Neither was very big , but one more so than the other.
Dove: one of Hubby's clients gave him two plants, which I suspected to be Salvia Hot Lips. One of them is now in flower. It's a plant for which I have a particular dislike. Would you , or Wonky like them?
Your cautleya spicata 'robusta' is in flower now and awaiting your collection.
I too have a Hot Lips but only cos it was a gift. There are much nicer salvias about, especially now that I can leave them in the ground and not cart them in and out of winter shelter and life in pots.
Sunny here and warming up but Monday is cleaning day and fresh sheets and towels so sunning ourselves has to wait a bit. Set to get to 30C by 5pm and the steamy storms forecast for overnight have now gone away. Not even postponed. Humph! Still haven't cut the grass since mid June tho the weeds could do with a chop before all the wee yellow flowers set seed.
Vitamin D is my answer to boosting the immune system against colds but selenium, zinc and plenty of fruit and veg and nuts all help. Hope you don't get a bad dose Pat.
Where you been Chicky? Looks very bonny and blue.

Thank you Hosta, but I'm not keen on Hotlips either ... there are prettier salvias of which I have several ... Wonky already has a similar one, but I think hers is more two-tone pink than 'red and white'. ... I'll ask her if she's interested but I think she'll say no thanks.
Oooh,thank you where am I going to put the Cautleya spicata ................... I might have to enlarge a bed .........

I'm seriously thinking of having the underfloor heating switched back on.
I'll start getting hot flushes again Hosta

Possibly a courting couple?
