Sweet pea

Today's the day ............................. to finally flower

You may well think that this is an unremarkable picture of a sweet pea.

On the contrary - it's quite a special one - because it's the very first one to flower in my garden this summer. It is a sign of all the wet and sunless weather that we have had over recent months that it has taken till the start of autumn for a flower to appear.

Ah well - it just makes it all the sweeter ...........................
