Good afternoon dear ladies,
Not merely drooling I'm afraid, but coughing and sniffling and umpteen other unpleasant asides that rampant man 'flu creates.
Neither of us have ventured out of the door for four days (even to check on the emerging callianthemums) and food has barely passed our lips.  We resemble fasting pipe-cleaner people on a new fangled diet.  NOT a pretty sight!

Beautiful buttercups Kris.  Mine are out there somewhere (I hope), under the snow and avoiding the germs.
Cliff, you must take TRAN! (Cod liver oil) I'm never ill and I take it daily ;)



I am glad you never have a cold Trond... but by that photo, it is doing terrible things to your hormone levels........ :o :-X
That's a decoy - can't  reveal myself yet, you know 8)

Hasn't affected his finger nails yet, Maggi!!! :D

Trond,
I have taken cod liver oil capsules every day for over ten years ... that's why I am now capsule shaped.   ;)

Then you should change - try a spoon! -  and keep the broad end up :o

I think I saw one of these posted somewhere by Kris. Here is mine grown from SRGC seed so all the sweeter for that.

In flower this week - Tecophelia cyanocrocus Leichtlinii.  It seems to have increased in flower size due to an annual repotting rather than every second year.

We had a light covering of snow yesterday (all gone now).  A few flowers still showing through.
