The site with the first few blossoms - hardly noticeable from the street -

Flowers looking cheery in the afternoon sunshine -

It's a different story in the rain -

The wind adds another challenging factor - unless the flowers are sturdily made (ie with many folds) they tend to blow apart (ie unfold). A sheet of soggy paper was lying on the steps as I came home - its wet weight had caused it to drop like a stone.
This morning I've been folding
daisies. The first one took 15 minutes but you do get faster. While folding, I've been listening to Mark Twain's autobiography on the iPlayer (
Book of the Week, BBC radio 4) - excellent, amusing - what a writer, so
quotable! The first episode is available for another three days, the next episodes for successively longer.
