Red-edged petals

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

On 27 April 2016, I had a volunteer shift and afterwards, as the sun was peeping through the clouds, I decided to call in at the Reader Rock Garden. There was a reasonable number of plants in bloom, including a scattering of these Tulips with red-edged petals. I wasn't sure if I was going to be too early or too late for Tulips, especially as this year has so far been most unusual, weatherwise. There was also a bush of gorgeous pink Hellebore flowers, hanging their heads as they tend to do. There was enough colour and variety of plants to make this visit worthwhile.

The temperature this morning, 19 June 2016, is 11C and forecast to get up to 19C this afternoon, with a risk of a thunderstorm. It rained last night and every little drop counts when everywhere is this dry.
