    And then my heart with pleasure fills,
    And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth :)

    This is one of my favourites,   Although I do like the yellow ones, mainly from where I got the seed head from.

    I've learnt to recognise the diseased ones early on ( maybe they were all red!) and pull them out and the healthy ones are becoming more numerous.
    In London. Keen but lazy.
