  I saw a young lady preparing the soil a few weeks ago. As you say Howard, probably a volunteer.

  Yes, Howard, this is the time of year for cactus flowers - from mid May, and they will repeat their flowering through the summer most of them. Here are some out today: The first one is a Rainbow Cactus, named because of the coloured 'stripes' on the plant body, not the flower.

  Looks like it Tom, I also have one that I grew from a cutting 'pinched' from next door's garden when I lived in Suffolk.
  
  
  Lovely pictures Kath.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  Very smart display there.
  
  Thanks for the name Bridewort, I actually dislike it, it doesn't do very much and the pink soon turns to brown on the flowers!
