:: coreopsis ::

This is a little bit of sunshine and happy memories from my childhood...
...being at my Nana's elbow making our way around the garden 'at the bach', doing the deadheading...
...bright sun beating down hot on our sunhatted heads...
...brilliantly-coloured flowers all along the driveway - all easycare perennials of one sort or another...geraniums, pelargoniums, agapanthus, hydrangea and...coreopsis...
which made golden sunny yellow head after golden sunny yellow head of flowers...
...hundreds and thousands of them...or at least that's how it seemed to me as a child...
In our garden, this wonderful butterfly-attractant is only just establishing - I would really love there to be giant clumps of it radiating it's sunny goodness out to the world.
Next weekend we visit Nana Joy, who is now 99... wonder what delightful memories she might dig up for us?
