Flora and Fauna



I visited my neighbour Diana yesterday and took some pics in her garden. Though not the clearest of photos - bit of camera shake going on there - I think you can proabably see what this beautiful plant is is well enough.


Did you identify it? It's a pineapple flower!



And this is Diana's cat, Mr Tumnus, getting his exercise on the trampoline !

Apoligies again to my blogging friends for not visiting much - I've had my daughter Julie staying for a while and haven't had much time for blogging! Hopefully, I'll get around to you all soon again. Also, I am beginning to get back into the studio, so I hope I will have more arty stuff to share soon!

  2. The flower looks like a bromiliad to me. Probably related?

  7. Thanks Caroline. So proud. A Mr Tumnus fan club! I am amazed.Thank you again. It has bee said that he is a trifle tubby. He jumps on the trampoline to avoid the dog who sometimes wants to play a little too vigourously. Being black I think he enjoys the heat. It's rather a large bed for one cat though. Will check out the botany of the pineapple.Thanks so much for being wonderful and rescueing me.x
