Rose Mallow

Thank you all so much for the kind comments, stars and hearts showered on yesterday's comet image. It was a very special experience.

After the late night I felt very tired today, not helped by the unseasonably autumnal weather, with persistent grey skies and intermittent rain. A good day to crack on with marking university paper, though I struggled to find focus and only managed seven. Still, at least I've made a start.

The seeds I sowed at the beginning of lockdown  are now beginning to flower - lots of tobacco plants, morning glory and gorgeous rose mallow, each bloom a sumptuous, silky pink.
