Green aphids are attacking my gold reef roses!
I'm enjoying my week off work, even though the weather has been awful.
We have had a little sun, though, so I have not wasted the opportunity to take some photos. (Post edited to remove photo)
I enjoy taking photos of flowers. Below is a blossom on a mock orange growing in my garden. The photo was taken on Saturday, just after getting my new camera.
I planted the mock orange in honour of my late maternal grandmother, a keen gardener who always ensured that there was a mock orange in her garden, wherever she lived. She would also give a plant to all her friends and family when they moved into a new home. The flowers are tiny, but they give off an incredible scent.
My grandmother died after a massive heart attack in 1993, at the age of 68. So when I moved into our home in 2000, she wasn't there to give us a mock orange. But I planted one in a corner of the garden nonetheless, and we know it affectionately as granny's bush. (Click the photo for a larger version or here for the really large version.)
