    I well remember 'The Ugly Duckling',..i think the Cygnets are cute,..sadly i read in another Forum that someone stole the entire nest of Cygnets from a lake and the Mother Swan was demented searching around for days for her Chicks,..a bad deed:dislike:

    Beautiful pictures of your flowers and the swans. I really enjoyed them all. I can't believe the size of your fuchsia. Here they are indoor plants only. Your rose is so very pretty with the soft blending of colors. The Digitalis is a nice surprise. I'm looking forward to seeing what colors they are.

    Oh Phillip how I'd love to have one of your Laurie's Golden Orange roses.:drool::smt055 Not only is it a gorgeous colour but my daughter is called Laura so it would fit in here beautifully. I'm off to see if I can find one to order.

    2ofus,..our climate really suits that Fuchsia,..it thrives,..the trunk is so thick one hand will not reach around it,..Eileen has one as well in Scotland.
    Oh i am really looking forward to seeing the colors as well from those Digitalis,..so far i have potted 24 its a big bonus and luckily i spotted them now as in another few days the Hosta would have hidden them.

    Eileen you should be able to get a similar colored Orange Rose,..my one was a cross breed from pollination some 12 years ago and when it first bloomed a Member in a Forum i was in said it looked like a Golden Orange,..her name was Laurie from NC USA.

    Thanks Eileen,..i only have one Iris myself and i am waiting for it to bloom but that lady has loads of them,..i agree they are to die for,..sooooo beautiful i just had to make a video for her.

    I have had a small Bird House for a few years,..sent from NC USA,..lo and behold a Wren has taken up residence in it two days ago,..when she and her mate look out of the House they look into my Sitting Room.

    Aww I love to see wrens in the garden. I hope they'll raise a family in your nest box.
    WOW that's a really beautiful Cobra lily. I'd have lots of them in my garden if only I had any space left. :rolleyes:

    Eileen i am delighted to see them and i am keeping close watch on them,..not forgetting my Cats,..though the nest is high enough off the ground.

    Cobra Lily is Arisaema speciosum,..native to the grater Himalayan region from Nepal/West Bengal/India/China and Monsoon Forest at elevations up to 3500m,..its a volunteer in my garden and i see another coming up along side it,..there is one more elsewhere in the garden.

    Spring has come and gone so below is my Spring video,..with two glitches grrrrr.
