So Sad.

It breaks my heart to see these wonderful flowers just give up and lie down in surrender after so short a time. It is less than three weeks since I blipped the first one to bloom. (8th May). Since then our six or seven plants have gifted us with exciting colour in the garden. They seem to be sprinters rather than marathon runners and won't last much longer. I do, however, have a cunning plan to prolong their usefulness. Show you in a few days.
They seem to have a shorter season this year. I wonder if all the heavy rain contributed to their demise. Maybe I should stake them. Any ideas on that?

So Sad (To Watch Good Love Go Bad). Brilliant song by The Everly Brothers.
(It breaks my heart:- from the same song, before Charlie tells me.)
