The good thing about brightly coloured flowers is that they are so cheerful when the day is cloudy, wet and dull.

Marigolds are always cheerful with their orange and yellow flowers, especially in a gloomy dawn.

While this lemon-scented gum isn’t colourful, I love the shape of the branches-it’s one of my favourite trees, especially when you get to smell the leaves which do smell of lemon.

Again, this rose is such a fabulous colour, I had to share it.

This rose is also rather pretty.

Gazinia are also great when they aren’t being eaten by something, probably snails!

These flowers have added colour to my day, which is a wonderful thing.
