Well, whoops! I accidentally posted this one before adding any words to explain why I was sharing these flowers, which in retrospect are on the hot side of the concise title I’d drafted: Warm. My blushes, which fortunately you can’t see, are adding to the warmth generated by these sunny pictures.
As yesterday was snowy (not the picturesque kind), I’ve enjoyed searching out a collection of blooms that fall along the yellow-orange-red spectrum that we associate with heat to meet Egidio’s challenge.
My final, truly warm border was St Peter’s C of E School’s gold medal-winning garden at the Southport Flower Show. Its young designer, Rosie Buckley, must have been very proud when her garden was chosen out of the many ideas submitted. I can’t imagine how excited I’d have been if we’d have had chance to be involved in a project like this when I was a schoolgirl.

And the moral of the story? Never make any attempt to post while listening to a podcast!

Ooh, gorgeous! Just what I needed! And the final photo is wonderful… what an achievement for a schoolgirl. 👍😃
Thanks for sharing on this gloomy February day!
My pleasure, Cathy. Let’s hope it’s the first of many gardens for her.
The warm flowers are a striking contrast to your description of the snowy weather, Susan. And such an achievement for the schoolgirl, Rosie (a perfect gardener’s name!) – to win an award for her garden. ❤
I hadn’t made the name connection – she’s from a flower-loving family, we’d guess.
Oh such beautiful blooms .. hope it was a good podcast!
It’s not one of my regular ones, but it had clearly engaged me!
lovely….such wonderful colour!
