    Yep--those pinky foto's do it for me! What a delicious selection of some of your flower specimens.
    The Oxalis "Lone Heckler" and the double Helleborus REALLY appealed to me.
    I especially liked the overview foto of that little rock garden up next to your house.
    You have some remarkable plants in your garden.

    Oh I do love seeing these colourway posts of yours Droopy!! I may not be a lover of pink but your photographs are wonderful and certainly cheer up a dull Scottish day. :-D

    Pink in the garden is something entirely different from pink on clothes or in the house. I'm no pink-lover either, generally speaking. :D

    Thanks for liking my pink photos. :D

    Those pinks are gorgeous and this coming from a former quilter who had absolutely no pink fabric in her stash cause she doesn't like the color ;) But in your garden it works!!

    I love pink! I really love your Oxalis "Ione Hecker" , even though it seems more purple than pink. I have entirely too much pink in my garden, but that's OK with me :)

    Thank you all. :D

    Well, I have to admit I'm not quite certain where to draw the limit between pink and purple, so they often go by pink and darker pink, except from Deep Purple.

    Those are gorgeous flowers. I am not a pink person either (what's with all the non-pink people! :D ), but those are beauties. Thanks for sharing.

    I like pink generally speaking, I guess. I once had a cat named Pink -- she was the greatest.

    But on to Droopy's flowers... how lovely these are. There is a peaceful quality to some of the pics that I just love, especially the helleborus, the primula and the meconopsis-cross.... the azaelea looks sherberty and that last lilly is stunning. So pretty, Droopy.
