Red, red rose

This beauty is in the latest bouquet, so velvety ! And we're very happy today, finally, finally Fumiko and son no 2 have had a letter that her permit to stay in The Netherlands has been approved, 8 months after the birth of Jack ! It's valid for 5 years, so that means at least for 5 years we won't have to worry about this. Hurray !

In other news, I've cleared/deadheaded most of the tulip field and sown new flower seeds for a summer full of bee and butterfly attracting flowers. And we had sun and a dry day today and temperatures around 20 C, warmer weather finally expected !

For Flower Friday with thanks to Anni/BikerBear for always hosting.
Thanks so much for all the Abstract Thursday entries and the kind comments and stars for yesterday's green funnels :-)
