Our gorgeous Iris reticulata “Alida” is the star of the moment.
I've had a busy, productive weekend for a change!
I finally got around to rearranging all the "picture walls" in order to accommodate a number of new treasures I've purchased lately and had framed. As you will no doubt be aware, dear reader, I am an avid collector of autographs. We already had such icons as Eartha Kitt, Rita Moreno, Joan Rivers, Marc Almond, Kylie Minogue, Dame Maggie Smith, Dame Joan Collins, Tyne Daly, Bea Arthur, Dame Angela Lansbury and many more on our walls. Recent acquisitions including Dame Shirley Bassey, Liza Minnelli, Dame Judi Dench, Hermione Gingold, Beryl Reid and Hinge and Brackett and more needed space of their own to shine, so began the "Tetris" operation. It's now completed, thank heavens! [For the moment; there's more waiting to be framed yet]
Speaking of "Tetris", the other job that needed to be dealt with was the rearrangement of pots from their temporary places onto the shelving in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers [that the Madam scrubbed-down on his last day off, just in time for a week of pissing rain]. It was - for a change - a sunny, relatively warm day here in London today, so I tackled that job, too! We now have a full "Spring collection" on display [photos pending...]!
Whew.
By way of a come-down after all that activity, how about a little something from our "house band"? [Although all that leaping about my "Mr Tambourine Man" is hardly relaxing...]
Thank heavens for Postmodern Jukebox!
Your iris IS gorgeous! Great music as always. But, yeah, Mr. Tambourine Man did too much upstaging, although I’m glad they were having such a good time.
ReplyDelete"Mr Tambourine Man" was a bit of a "fixture" in PMJ video performances for a few years. I find him hilarious, if a bit exhausting... Jx
DeletePS The iris is a stunner, if rather ephemeral - another week or so, and that's it. We tend to treat them as annuals, as they never flower well for us in their second year in pots.
