Lukewarm Hot Poker

Many thanks for all the comments, stars and hearts for my second 'Flying Scotsman' blip yesterday, which are all much appreciated. You managed to carry it up to page 3 of the 'Popular' pages where as I write it still is, the highest any of my shots have gone!

Today it's back down to earth or at least, two feet above it. My Red Hot Poker plant has put out a couple of buds already; one, a little affair that is starting to go red, and this on, a bit bigger but still looking decidedly lukewarm. Well, it is still only 6c out there, but at least it's a flower for Biker Bear's Flower Friday challenge.
