Cluster of star shaped white flowers with a black bead like centre surrounded by 6 small stamens with yellow tips on a long stem. In the background are shinny green leaves of a Star Jasmine.

Loving the Ornithogalum Saundersiae or Star of Bethlehem. Got the bulbs in April last year and worth the wait. Thankfully the winds have stopped, currently 17°.🌱

Trump is so full of hot air he actually should be tethered to the ground. What's the betting he'll find a reason not to impose sanctions?!!

Four close up photos of Gladiolus. Clockwise soft pink, striped purple, orangey red and a bright pink.

The strong winds are still with us today although thankfully not quite as bad as yesterday. We had loads of pots blown over even though they had been very well watered the evening before. Hollyhock took a battering. Most of the Gladioli are still standing. 🌱 #BloomScrolling #Gardening

You just know he will not use even one cent of it to improve anyone's life but his own. It really is obscene.

Hummingbird Hawkmoths (2) still frequenting Red Valerian in the garden yesterday.

Floris has stormed into town, so I hope they're sitting it out somewhere sheltered.

This is exactly what the Nazis did in 1932/33. They took over the Judiciary making it easier to arrest and detain anyone who opposed them. Hitler went after Hans Litten, a lawyer who had prosecuted him. Sound familiar? You think ICE is being drastically expanded to only go after illegal aliens?

He despises people who are educated and intelligent because he is not. He surrounds himself with sycophants and puts totally unqualified people into positions of power. He goes after anyone who doesn't follow his will. He rewrites history. He is a DICTATOR and America is not a democracy anymore.

I'm afraid that time has come and gone. I've been hearing since January "We can't let him away with this" and he has only gotten worse. He has taken over the media, law enforcement, schools and universities and the Judiciary. As much as it pains me to say but America has become a failed state.

You mean cheap gold leaf from Temu. Everything about him is fake. Although knowing him he'll claim it's 32 carat solid gold!!!!

What an appropriate metaphor!

Tigridia flowers in a mix of yellows and orange. They have 3 main petals. The centre is a mottled red and yellows. Their long thin green leaves in the background.

Beauty is fleeting. They might only last a day but they are stunning. We don't usually have so many open the same day.🌱

She should have then said to him "sorry, but can you stop talking bullshit and being a c*nt".

It is something nearly every pathetic and small minded dictator has done through time. Just like him, if you scratch the surface you reveal it's all fake.

What great news. It has made my day.

Appropriate given his Russian links.

I can only imagine how tacky it will be.

Always with the negative, what about the beautiful gold ballroom for future generations of trumps to enjoy!!!

He wouldn't build this if he had any intention of leaving or even having elections in '28. America is no longer a democracy.

You are assuming he actually has a soul!

A zinnia with yellow stars around the center, pinkish petals fading out to lime green.

For Thankful Thursday 🌱
The almost infinte variety of reseeded zinnia colors 🤩

There is absolutely nothing intellectual about him, his Dear Leader or any Republicans.

The stupidity is unbelievable. Given what RFK is doing and now with rolling back EPA protections, they seem to be going out of their way to harm both people and the environment. No one seems capable of stopping them. Why not have done with it and set off 10 nuclear weapons. Job done. Same result.

I'm so glad he said that because I and the vast majority of the world had absolutely no idea that it was all a scam!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What's he going to tell us next, that the earth is round?!

With the "your loving son" makes it sound like a memorial plaque, pity it's not.

Some neanderthals did survive. Or else Lurch had a love child!

They were brilliant.

What a vile obnoxious piece of excrement. That Starmer stood there and put up with this, just like most so called leaders, is pathetic. They should be more like Jerome Powell and call him out. SHOW SOME BLOODY BACKBONE.

Bumble bee on an echinops.

Closer view of the bumblebee. His head has some pollen on it

The bumblebee just love the Echinops around the garden. 🌱🐝

Put the "deal" to a vote in every EU Country and let's see what we the people actually think of it. Let's see if we think it's a good idea to deal with a fascist.
