Or not, depending on my mood
These tiny red flowers grow on (and along!) anything they can find to climb up – in this case an old raspberry plant.
The little green leaves belong to the red flowers, and the big coloured textured leaves belong to the raspberry plant 🙂
Our Hot Lips salvia is doing well this year – the little red-tipped flowers are small but eye-catching 🙂

The climbing rose bush at the back of our garage has a lovely show of little red flowers this year – oh, and an an endless supply of wicked little thorns that catch you unawares to go with it…

The first full year we were here, in 2020, our little apple tree made plenty of showy blossom but little follow-through in the way of ending up with any really edible-looking fruit.
Last year, in 2021 we watched and waited patiently, but only harvested a grand total of nine ugly-looking little runts of apples in the autumn that made some very nice apple sauce, but that’s it.
However this year it looks like we might actually get a reasonable amount of proper apple-y-looking apples off the tree! There are currently over 30 still happily hanging in there, and most are still growing well, just like this one.
OK, so it’s not actually a flower, but it used to be an apple blossom, so I guess that counts for something 🙂
