I love your photos and we too have been awash with rain here. The good news is that the veg garden is doing really well and I have not spent most of the non-existent summer watering. The bad news is my legs are white as white can be.
I went away for a few days this week, and was given a shopping list by Karen. Plants of course!! Went to 4 garden centres/nurseries before I found any of them. (She is very picky on what variety she wants). Struck gold at a place called Bridgemere, near Nantwich. Now part of the Wyvale group, but absolutely huge and staff very helpful. Couldn’t resist a few buys for myself as well. Will see you tomorrow with your new plants.
Thanks to you all for the comments. Much appreciated.
Pomona – I am sorry I dont know what type of calla this was – it was just sold as dark calla.
Patientgardener and Zoe – I love that grass – I forget its name now (sorry) When I bought it I worried that it might just look like “dead grass” but it is a lovely soft colour.
Elizabethm – I so know what you mean about the white legs
Great photo.
Beautiful – and for a Canna lily, extremely tasteful and restrained
Great catch for WW! Mine’s up too hope you can visit… Happy WW!
What a lovely colour – despite the rain. I like the way it looks against the grass.
I think the rain adds to this shot. So soft and lovely.
I agree–beautiful shot, shapes, texture.
And of course I can’t help wondering: what cultivar of calla is this? Cameo? I’m not real up on callas.
We could use a bit of that rain here, Karen! Lovely photo …
Nice coloured Calla – and beautiful shot!

Lovely photo, looks great against those bronzed grasses too.
The rain is good for something – it adds an extra dimension to your beautiful photo!

The raindrops on thee flowers is becoming a trade mark. Another beautiful photo. Love the colours of this flower.
Cheers
