Free flowers!

Celebrate the small things with us.

The free flowers are some sweetpeas that have mysteriously appeared in my garden. Not sure if the birds brought the seeds in or whether they are remnants of some long-forgotten plants, but I'm enjoying the blooms.

Also celebrating Jane Austen being the image on the new £10 note.

And a small win for me in a flash fiction competition run by Freelance Market News.

And, finally, the appearance of a flower on our waterlily.

  2. Aren't they just? our garden is very green at the moment, so it's lovely to have a splash of colour.

  3. Oooh, I didn't know Jane Austin would be on the £10 note. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for that :)

    1. It's amazing how much of a lift a simple thing like a posy can bring.

  5. Oh, well done on the flash fiction award! That's HARD (for me, at least). The guest flower is always a joy to find. I have, somehow, a Rose of Sharon bush coming up in my yard. I'm taking good care of it!
