There's been a nice surprise in the garden - suddenly, a red-blooming flower appeared:

We didn't plant this, and we certainly didn't expect it - but it is very welcome in its beauty. It's also blooming at a time when there is not so much else colourfully flowering around, so it is doubly welcome. Looking at the leaves, it might also have brought some friends in the same bed, though they are still a little shy and not showing any signs of a flower stem... yet. Maybe next year.

It's not looking quite as lovely and happiness-inducing on the peach tree: Of all the flowers and subsequent tiny little peaches, there is only one single peach left.

So I'm hoping that this one will continue going strong - that would mean a harvest of one peach, at last, some time later this year. Which would delight me no end!
