Description

An English rock-band from the 70's ... not much to do with this post, except sharing the same name! I was walking past this old gentleman's residence and his garden - on my way to the South Coast Radiology building (for a 'free' bone density scan) our Government reckons it would be a cheaper option to have the pensioners doing this, than fixing broken hips etc. ... where was I? - ah yes, When I spotted this velvety Petunia with the white star in the centre - simply gorgeous, I asked him, if I could take a pic, I just had to have it in the can! Actually this is one flower which you don't see a lot of, for us here in the Subtropics! (bloody freezing - I am over Winter!) Cheers Brigitte (have been really busy, the last 2 weeks - and now I am back and don't need to feel guilty anymore, having neglected all of you ;)
