Pond life

I stopped off at a local pond, hoping for cygnets or ducklings for a lip, but there were none to be seen. Maybe because every access point to the pond was occupied by a fisherman. It is a peaceful place, and the fishermen don't communicate with each other at all, they just sit in silence, watching their line. .
I was attracted by these flowers, and when I came home I made a thorough search of my wildflower book, but cannot identify them. It could be that they have escaped from a nearby garden and would be more easily found in a nursery catalogue. See extra if you think you can help.
Looking forward to a Mah-Jong session this evening. Our last regular day was cancelled because of the Village Week Quiz which tied up most of us.
