I wanted to share with you all my beautiful Erlicheer Jonquils. So far these last 3 weeks I’ve picked 18 dozen. So I’m up 4 dozen on last year. I’ve only got maybe 2 dozen left to pick over the next couple of days. My kitchen smells divine!!
As you swelter in the summer heat we have 26 more days of Winter. Our Spring begins on September 1.
I’ve been busy sewing face masks for our local cafe and a nurse had asked me to make 30 for her staff! Times certainly have changed. Keep safe and well everyone. Love Chris

What a beautiful bounty! I love Jonquils. Right now we're busy harvesting homegrown tomatoes and sweet peppers. The best thing about our sweltering summers! 😓🍅😋

They are beautiful. I don't have any experience with this type of flower. You must have quite the garden to get so many!

These are stunning!!! Your garden must be a wonder!!! I do not have a green thumb! But, here are some of my Hydrangeas that grow on their own - if I did anything to it - it would probably die, I am sure. Well done sewing masks for others - that is a wonderful thing to do!! Hugs, Laura

What a lovely flowers.
Oh! these are beautiful Laura, I've got a deep pink one in our backyard, which Trevor bought not realising it was pink. I don't have any pink in my garden, it's all blue, purple, yellow and white. Love Chris

Thanks Lynne, but my name is Chris, not Penny. I can't wait for Spring either. Love Chris
Sorry Chris, sometimes my brain gets confused (too many bleeds to brain) and though my brain says one thing but my hands srite something else.

What a beautiful flower you have grown. I have never seen this flower. Masks are now a part of life sad but true.

Thanks so much Suzanna, yes you are right about the masks. Love Chris

They are lovely. You must have a tremendous bed where they grow to harvest that many blooms! Do they last very long once cut? OH and you had to rub in the "sweltering" bit? Our temps are 100+ degrees. And will stay there or upper 90's from now until September. Hugs. Nan

Hi Nan, yes, I've got stacks and stacks of them along the front fence. They last for days in the vases.
Oh! my goodness with your heat. We have dreadful heat here in Australia during our summers, I'm not looking forward to it. Love Chris
