Colour Week
Friday - RED

Does anyone know the name of these flowers? My inlaws had them in their garden and so planted some for me and my sister in law.

They're deep red and look like velvet bunches - so beautiful...



Im loving this too! 'Keep calm and Carry on'...Ive seen it on a few blogs recently. Its a reproduction of a British WW II poster....great message!!
Alison is selling them as tea towels too!
