Hope your feeling ok Kerry! Welcome back! 💘😍

Very pretty. So happy you are back. Hope you are feeling better. 💗💕

Just gorgeous 🌸🌸🌸

@ShelleySnyder thank you Shelley 💕 a virus that lasted far too long and then being so run down I got a wonderful eye cyst 😜 never rains but it pours! 🤦🏻‍♀️ hope you’re keeping well and had a wonderful thanksgiving 😘

@hkyfvr thanks so much Diane 💞 it has been a long time of feeling awful but I’m happy to be back to almost normal - I’ll never be fully normal 🤭😆 hope you’ve been taking care in the Canadian cold 🥶🥶🥶

@pelly thanks Jane 😀 was after seeing yours that I bought these. So glad I gave them a good year to settle in as they’re flowering like crazy now! 🤩

You are so welcome Kerry. Missed your photos and lovely sense of humour. I am just glad you are feeling better. Who really is fully normal? 😂 Not too cold here yet but we did have a good snowfall. Now the rain has melted it and more is on the way. Lots of ups and downs. Hope Franklin and the piggies are doing well too. ♥️😄

Oh dear! Sounds awful! Glad you're done with it! Had a great Thanksgiving, thanks for asking, now onto Christmas! Happy holidays!💘😍

Glad to hear it 🌸

@hkyfvr have missed chatting to you 🥰 that’s true, normal is overrated anyway 😉 you’ve had snow already?? 🫣 it’s really cold here at the moment. Not even reaching 10° in the daytime 🥶 the furry five are all doing well thank you ☺️ are the cats indoors now the weather has changed?

@ShelleySnyder thank you lovely ❤️ I’m so happy to hear it 😄 everything happens so fast this time of year! One holiday after another 😜 happy holidays to you too 🎄

Thank you all so much for the kind words in the previous post 💖💖💖 took a little longer to get back than I’d hoped but think I’m back to normal finally 😜 looking forward to seeing everyone’s winter gardens 😍 #hesperantha #crimson-flag-lily #kaffir-lily #hesperantha-coccinea-sunrise

Beautiful flowers. So very happy you are feeling better. 😄💕

Glad to hear it Kerry, it’s been a long old haul for you 💞💞💞

Glad to hear you are feeling better, take care x

That’s great news, Kerry! 😘

@gjones @hkyfvr @pelly @debs69 @jacaranda @KOutdoors thank you so much ladies 🥰 has felt like a very long time since I felt even remotely human, and just in time for the Christmas onslaught 🤣 seems since Covid that any other viruses hit a lot harder 😞

Always welcome Kerry. I guess we stayed away from people and wore masks and our immunity went down as we were not exposed. So many kids here are sick and in hospital. I have been so lucky and have stayed healthy. 🤞🤞🙏

@hkyfvr we’ve been protected from so much more than Covid I guess 😷 is it Covid making the kids sick or other viruses? Flu is set to be bad here this winter 😐 how is your leg and tailbone now??

@gjones the news here has warned of flu becoming a big issue this winter. They’re saying 10x more are in hospital with it 🙈 I’m happy to hear you’re both keeping well and hope you continue to 🙏🏻

The kids are getting a respiratory virus and pneumonia and are filling up the Hospital beds. There are not enough nurses and the ones we have are getting burned out. I have had a bivalent Covid shot and a flu shot so I should be good. I finally finished my leg bandaging last week and it is healed. I just have to be careful with it. My tailbone is great but I did break my toe and possibly a bone in my foot 2 weeks ago. I have to be more careful. Thanks for asking Kerry. 🥰

@gjones I do hope I can too, thank you ☺️ they’re free for proper over 65 and for healthcare workers but you can pay if you want one otherwise. They were giving them at the same time as the Covid booster and made a lot of people quite unwell with side effects. Think it’s worth having though. Flu is no joke 🙈

@hkyfvr sounds very similar to here 😞 we also have a strep infection that’s making rounds in schools. Has sadly killed 6 children already. I’m so glad your leg & tailbone are healed 😁 what happened to your foot though??? 😨

Finally some flowers 🥳 #hesperantha #crimson-flag-lily #kaffir-lily #hesperantha-coccinea-sunrise

Love this ❤️❤️❤️

I'm really hoping mine flowers this year 🤞

@pelly I’ve never grown them so no idea what they like or if I’ve even potted them up ok 😜 do they take long to start blooming?

@DeborahBanks how long have you had them?

If I remember correctly they flowered in their first year. They like full sun and moist soil. To be honest I pretty much ignore mine 🙄😂

@pelly oh that’s great 😁 thanks Jane, I hope I can just stick them in a pot and leave them to it 🤞🏻😅
