Not that I am pandering to Jill's flower passion but I just had to show you this Rose. It is a Whisky Mac that was planted where our border collie Mac used to dig large holes, in memory of him. Now I am not very good with roses and it usually looks a bit spotty and unwell. My neighbour found in an old book the advice to place banana skins around the base of her roses. Well I tried it and lo and behold we had two very large, luscious flowers. The centres of the roses were so large that when trying to take this photo a very large, hairy bumble bee emerged from the centre of the flower, it had been totally hidden in there. A local garder says it is probably the potassium. Anyway, another recycling idea and the birds also help themselves to bits of the banana skin.

Oh lovely Margaret. And banana skins. What a good tip. Will have to try that one.
Bye for Now Jill
