The irises are nearly over.

There are just a couple of buds left on the irises and then that's it for another year. Yesterday C said he wanted me to take some pictures of a white one that was just coming out - he reckoned it would be out this morning. It was, sure enough, but so had been some insects or just possibly a slug, so it wasn't very photogenic. A petal is all I could get for him.
And the last of the buds...

There's also one peculiar double iris, the only one like it in the pot...
Despite the heat the Cornish Pasties came out very well. I made the pastry in the morning before the house warmed up too much. The weather today reminds me so much of our holiday in Cornwall a few years ago, so the two went together well.
