The First Flowers

Mr PC mainly grows fruit and veg in the garden but there are some flowers too. Mostly they are geraniums, fushias and others that don't really lend themselved to being cut to put in vases. However, we do have some lovely dahlias and hydrangea which have just started to flower so I was off out with the secateurs to bring some of them into the house!
