Dianthus, FF2

Yes it really is that colour. I think the duller weather enhances the colour.
Big day, went with my late husbands nephew and his dad down to see my  husbands brother in hospital in Oamaru. Totally immersed in Alzheimer's but not well in many other ways. It was really sad to see a person so diminished by that ghastly affliction. He never married so it behoves us to do the caring. I saw him two weeks ago and cant believe how he has deteriorated. If we talked far enough back in time he could respond to it.
