          Been watering for an hour and tomorrow is said to be a scorcher and according to the accuracy of the weather reports, it could be a day or two out.

          I think I will have to put in a complaint for my wild swan .. too wild and none of them is properly formed. When I tried to photograph them last year, I thought it was just the one which was weird in shape, but no... SAM_0343.JPG SAM_0344.JPG SAM_0345.JPG SAM_0346.JPG

          I think I have to baptise them WONKY SWAN

            Lovely that you've your rightful share of SUNSHINE! You can have the heat too. That sounds lovely. Last time I did something similar was going across to St. Michael's Mount from Megavissy .. wonderful memories..

            Have a lovely day with your family, @zenj !

            I think I'm the odd one out. Anything more than 22+c plus the sun, I will scream ... So hot. This morning, the sun wasn't even out, I watered for an hour and I was sweating.

            @Verdun but it has been the 2nd year this weird flowers have been coming out of my wild swan. If I had seen them like these, I wouldn't have bought them. I wish I had bought one at £1.47 at Long Acre recommended by @Mark56 , but by that time, I had already paid for this one for £4.50. I am sure yours don't look like these? Totally deformed, reminded me of the weird pear tree that I bought a decade ago.

            @Logan What are yours like?
