Lemon1.jpg

This all started by my finding a tiny bud (I think) hopefully an embryonic Lemon on the tree Síle gave me for my birthday.
It had to me photographed and, to capture it, I had to switch on to Macro on the camera.
As I had it switched on I got a little snap-happy in the garden.

At the same time as Síle gave me the Lemon she gave me this White Peach.
Unfortunately this tiny speciman is as much as one is allowed because they say you should pull these off the first year.

This usually elegant lady (the Iris is, I think, a very feminine flower) seems to be hiding her eyes and sticking out her tongue at me.

Chaucer called this flower the Day’s Eye, so this must be the pupil.

This Lily was in the house as part of a bunch which we got last week. Up close I think the stamens look like they are wearing orange slippers.

This out of focus Lilac just looked so frothy I had to stick it in.
