The medium size town of Rochdale has at least 7 semi-professional cricket grounds ... each boasting two or three teams.

I think among those lovely Dutch irises, I like 'Silvery Beauty' best but they're all beautiful. I like the bronzy colours too.

Yes Kees, I was SOOOOO sad about the Australians being eliminated from the cricket. Almost burst into tears about it. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D. But we made a right mess of things this morning, with South Africa beating the Black Caps with just 127 runs on the board. Shocking. But never mind, we're through to the next round anyway. :D

Is it possible that I see so many pictures of plants on this Forum, that I some of them don't remember
after some weeks ?  ::) ::) ::)
Or has it something to do with aging  :-\.....  :o

Luit, I can tell you for sure that there are so many plants on this forum that sometimes I do not remember them after a few hours, let alone days or weeks!  ::) :-[
