Fairy Fishing Rods

Fairy Fishing Rods are one of my favourite flowers.

I have grown the pink for many years, and had a good clump of white going - we were using them as a wind indicator in the fires a few years ago. Unfortunately I moved them, and they take a while to get going again.

This one is a deep pink/purple - hard to describe the colour, and much darker than it shows up here.

I put in it about two years ago, and it has only just come into flower now.

I don't see them without thinking of the fires again, but we are okay at the minute - the suggestion is that we might get floods in the next couple of days!
