If we want to be nice, we can think that she is stupid. But she has even stolen from your house!

I would have put something stronger than 'sodding'. It's pretty despicable really. But then I look at those lovely blooms and my frown has gone and I'm smiling again. British flowers always look so, so bright.

Yes, our plentiful rainfall is good for the flowers. I tried not to show my chagrin too much but I think she probably got the message.

Very clever poem Jan. Soddin cheek is not the word, maybe I could say flippin cheek instead. I would not be happy at all about that for starters but I would laugh after she went trhough the door at her actions even though its not funny at all that is if it was me of course.

@jaboUK She was probably appreciating those lovely flowers you have there but in another way.

@jaboUK Very mean of her. She did not even ask before performing that dastardly act

I only hope no one plucks that sole marigold that has bloomed in my garden. I want it to produce seeds (lol)

Beautiful garden you have. So pleasing and you are right, I think, flowers look best in their natural habitat or near the God.

Somehow I find that to be underhanded, how can you ever trust anything she gives you is actually something she really did pick for you without taking it from either your garden or perhaps another friends garden or what not.

@thelme55 I have an orchid with roots sitting on my mantelpiece - a gift from a departing guest. Then I have some roses and lilies in a vase that my son brought me. I like them both - there are no flowers in my garden at the moment.

Your garden looks really pretty. i hope to get flowers growing in our garden again. A gopher pulled all of our into the ground before we figured out what he was doing and chased him away with cayenne pepper. I did not want to kill him just chase him away.
