It is a bit cooler this week and I think the plants are very grateful, I have never known the roses to come out so early, but they are making the most of it xx below I have a picture of a Phlomis...... at last, I have waited 3 years for the flowers to come, has anyone else had the same thing happen ?

Hello xx

It is a bit cooler this week and I think the plants are very grateful, I have never known the roses to come out so early, but they are making the most of it xx below I have a picture of a Phlomis...... at last, I have waited 3 years for the flowers to come, has anyone else had the same thing happen ?
I have a hero to mention this week a wonderful lady who has just received an OBE Betty Brown (93) for services to justice from the King, Betty was a Former sub-postmaster xx
Thank you all for your lovely comments last week, and its funny you know in the world of the internet, how you can form friendships and connections and there is always of course the phone, like minded people do find a way to connect and dolls, it seems is a great way for this to happen xx
Phlomis xx
Janet with love xx 
Jody in gold xx .... and her friend Vanessa xx
Lots of love and thank you again xx

I have alot of roses out too. Beautiful colours and nice to pock a few for the house. I have 3 David Austin roses sitting waiting for a space in the garden!!!
I have never grown Plomis. Seen it many times in these country house gardens.
Betty Brown is a tremendous lady so deserving of her OBE.
Your last comment is very true. I would never have thought all those years ago that I would become a collector of your beautiful dolls and get to know you of course. Sx
