This Iris unguicularis looks as if it smiling to greet the sunshine we have in Bristol today, My grandson who loves cooking has pm'd me to say he wants to make lunch! So I am smiling too.
My visitors for lunch have just gone after a quick walk round to see the Brentry Xmas lights. It was such a warm walk. My grandson is an excellent cook. It is lovely to hear what the youngsters are up to. I do not think we have anything to fear there = lots of creative ideas and very hard workers. The garden had another present - such a pretty wooden clock and thermometer with painted birds on it.
Oh that is so flamboyant Pat. What variety does it say it is on the packet? Bristol is bright and dry and mild this morning but it is the lull before the storm as the next one is on the way from the Atlantic due to hit us this evening.. I will go out and batten down the hatches.
Hi Marion it's called 'Priscilla'. I've got two more not yet open, and they are simply called 'Pink' And 'Purple'. How imaginative! I'll post photos when they open.

More pictures from up the garden in the sunshine. It feels very warm.
Lovely Marion, I think it's more like spring
Just hope it doesn't do a sudden change or effect the plants.
just had my parents and brother visiting my poor mum was full of a cold she didn't look well at all so made her a nice hot drink.
have you had your visitors yet Marion?

This is my new gladioli.
I'm rather impressed that actually looks like the packaging it came in.

I like Priscilla. It does well here but the pink is a bit paler than yours. That may be due to your higher temperatures giving a more intense colour.
