Hay Hoe!

Chances are it will be a ghost shower. (the rain evaporates almost before it hits the ground)

Some photos not good enough for the bloom thread.

Grand Duc - rubbish blurred shot, with insects.

Kilburn Glow from 1st bloom I think my Taratahi Ruby and Edwin's Sunset looked better but then it's only the 1st bloom. Be good to compare when I say them together.

Shelia - sport of Cornel. Be interesting to hear what Dad thinks i.e. Ball or Not Ball - that is the question!
I know that he'll think that the centre is rubbish and obviously suffered from having the bud (which has now been removed) 'in it's face'.
I know that Dad'll say why not grow Cornel instead of it's sport.

Dad talked about popping round but it is getting rather late for that now. Oh well. I am sure he'll tell me soon.

Not fussed on the colour too much like Jomanda but depending on how much of a ball it will be it might be a useful seed parent.

Stayed up downstairs for quite a while she was very, very scared and very, very tired. Once things had calmed down a bit took her back up to bed; promised her that if she got really scared again she could come in to me. Luckily she didn't but I bet she will be extremely tired when she wakes up.
Bless Her.
