You read that right, although it is not generally the done thing to say so.
I don’t deserve praise for growing this fine produce because I didn’t – they caught my eye at a flower show. Being a lover of peas in pods (provided they are sweet), as I could not eat them, immortalising their freshness in a picture made a good, if sorry, second. Purple potatoes, purple kale and purplish tomatoes added extra interest, but it’s not for spotting those either.
I’m not asking you to approve the quality of the veggies, their arrangement or my composition. No, the reason I deserve praise is because I resisted one of my regular impulses for mischief yesterday by not sneaking this in to the middle of my gallery of plants with green flowers.
Do you still deserve praise for not doing a thing even if you slightly regret not doing it?

Why, it looks like a flower to me! 💚😉
I’m glad! Wouldst all flowers had peas in ’em. (As our poets have strangely neglected to write.)
You don’t deserve praise. You missed a perfect opportunity. I’ll let you off though. You posted this picture today.
I could be following the political fashion of not worrying whether praise is deserved before demanding it… or is that one comparison too far?
Politics. Let’s just not go there today, shall we???
Such restraint! I’m impressed. 😉
(Modest look)
😉
Yes! Better late than never! 😊🧡💛🌻🍁🌾
It would have been fun to have seen people’s faces as they’d spotted it (or not spotted it), but that’s another thought entirely.
You have a keen sense of intrigue and curiosity Susan! These moments are happy observations! Stopping to smell the roses even if vicariously through you our flora medium! 😊🧡💛🌻
I, too, am impressed with your restraint. I understand how hard it can be to not break rules. 😉
Many’s the infinitive that’s better split. 🙂
Lol! What would you have labelled it?
Well, since you put me on the spot… peasecod flower.
That would have been fun.
Yes, I missed a trick.
A great arrangement, a great photo and I admire your restraint 🙂
I was held back thinking of people who might happen upon it and start searching the internet for peasecod flower seeds.
I think you should have snuck it in and waited for somebody to comment.
On balance, I should.
I did have a giggle at your intended mischief. I am one for a bit of naughtiness so I am impressed at your restraint Susan.
I am with Jo, I would have snuck it in and see if anyone commented but you know I would have 😂
If it had had a green pepper in the middle instead of red, it’d have been a no brainer.
👍😂
Since I had absolutely no clue what I was looking at when I saw the above, and since I was so bamboozled yesterday by the green flowers, you could have inserted this and I’d have been none the wiser. I do congratulate you on your restraint, but I think that little twinge of regret is telling you to do it the next time!
It would have been doubly naughty if I’d fooled anyone, but you’d have spotted it.
🙂
I could have got away with it on a quick scroll.
