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 
Gorgeous. Have you ever grown them? I would love to try, maybe if I ever get a conservatory I could try
No. Never. TBH I don’t much like them other than in the wild.
ah I like them in bouquets!!
Long lasting at least.
Yes 🙂 that has to be an upside!
That’s lovely. It’s a ….?
Protea, Margaret! Jude won’t be out of bed yet 🙂 🙂
Thanks Jo. But come on, the day’s half over!
🤣💕
Protea. 😊
Thanks. Jo was anxious not to keep me in the dark, but it’s good to know she’s Quite Right.
She probably read the tag 😂
Ah, I thought I’d looked, but obviously not hard enough …
I think it depends what you read the post on, they don’t always show up on my phone.
That’ll do me!
That’s lovely – a very unusual looking flower.
Some are stranger than others. I like them in their natural habitat (Western Cape) but not so much elsewhere, though as Becky has said they do last for a long time in a bouquet.
They seem almost plastic some of them – and yes, I do agree they last a long time in a bouquet! 🙂
Another cracking shot. I was tempted to lean forward to smell it! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete. x
No scent I’m afraid.
