Sea and clouds

Think you're brainy enough for this?

Clipped

The hedge across the road has a smart new haircut.

Nothing is as precious as today

Bench plaque, Hove seafront.

Pink and orange

My flat has a tiny, tiny balcony (I have friends with larger coffee tables); there's only room for a few plants. Rosemary and a couple of varieties of mint are essential, as are a scented pelargonium or two. This one's called William of Orange - pretty flowers and deliciously orange-scented foliage.

Neglected

I hate to see a garden full of weeds.

Pink and red

Flowering quince (Chaenomeles speciosa).

Progress report

That's Alyssa smiling at the camera; Treacle & Co is her new venture (local cake afficionados will probably recognise Alyssa from Ethel's Kitchen) and she's hard at work getting the inside sorted ready to open (fingers crossed) at the beginning of July.

White

A beautiful Deutzia scabra, Hove Street.

Purple

Hebe growing in a garden on the corner of Kingsway and Hove Street.
