I'm in a photo mood this week. Here's some luscious British flora that I took earlier today - not as shockingly vibrant as the Australian photos from yesterday but the colours are still very lovely. And maybe these will seem as beautifully exotic to my Australian readers as their flowers do to me.
Herb Robert grows freely around here. There's loads in my garden and it's so pretty that I always feel guilty pulling it up but if I don't, it takes over.

No idea what this is but the shape of the stems and buds are just gorgeous.
