    Your pansy is a lovely survivor and the rose is wonderful with it's full crinkly petals which are so lush.

    I'm glad you got some rain, even though it was too late for so much of your garden. It seems that all of Australia is in need of fresh water from the skies. I am also saddened that your heart is causing you grief again. I hope the Docs can do something to help. And thanks for the beautiful shots of the flowers in the rain. They are special!

    Your pansy is a beautiful survivor! I have long wanted to try Souvenir de la Malmaison. Such a romantic-looking rose.

    Is it raining there?
    Here, in Rio de Janeiro, it´s raining a lot.

    I like the rose, so pink and feminine.

    How are you feeling today?
