April is a square month and this year Becky wants us to find the bright things in life. I had a few ideas all relating to Cornwall of course with my coruscating seas and cloudless skies, happy, shiny people and bright lights, but then I decided upon showcasing all the bright and beautiful flora found in the county as a tribute to the first ever Squares in September 2017 which was all about flowers. So prepared to be dazzled.

Cornwall in Colours 
Oh yes, those fit the bill!
Pretty aren’t they?
🙂
Lovely! My cape primrose keeled over a few weeks ago. I don’t know what was different but it just turned up its toes. Very sad.
I have never tried growing them, but they do require certain growing conditions I believe.
Mine flourished for three years and then just got sick and keeled over within weeks. I tried removing the wilting leaves but then more leaves went weird. I don’t know what happened. 😦
Darn it! You’ve got me singing again! All things bright and beautiful, all creatures….. 🙂 🙂
Singing is good for you 😮
But not for the neighbours 🤣💕
ooh are these yours? Mum used to love growing these, she doesn’t any more sadly
Not mine. Saw them in the nursery the other day and thought, yes, bright Squares! 😂 I have never grown them, but once had a collection of African Violets.
Need lots of windowsills I guess!
I have seen them in a greenhouse in a garden in Kent. I admit that I was tempted, but they are quite fussy plants and I have enough fussy ones to take care of 😂
Think that’s why Mum gave up!
I have 6 Auricula and they are fussy.
Really, they don’t get much attention on mountains!
Haha… no but they have good drainage and probably out of direct sun. The slugs adore them if I put mine outside.
This theme is a good one for the cold and grey days like today. Something bright to cheer us up.
Best wishes, Pete. x
She’s a clever lady! Actually I can’t complain about the weather here, it’s been sunny all week though bitterly cold until yesterday when the wind dropped. Even got some gardening done!
The pattern on the petals is so pretty.
I guess that’s why people collect them.
They’re ever so pretty, especially the lacy markings.
They are delightful, but I have nowhere to keep them so I just took a photo and walked away.
Very pretty. I thought they were orchids at first, because of the markings.
Such pretty faces!
