I thought it was time to do another flower post. π Despite the heat, I've got the garden shade cloths up, and my plants are doing just fine. π
Photo 1: My cherry-ice-cream begonia flowers are open.
Photo 2: Got some Double Delight pink-and-yellow roses open too. π
Photos 3, 4 & 5: Pansies and pink begonia flowers are doing just fine too. π
Photo 6: I've also got some white Nigella flowers open, and some blue ones yet to open. π
Photo 7: I've also discovered a white hollyhock flower open on one bush while doing this photo shoot!

Just using the last digit of a customers library card should be sufficient?
So all books for a customer go in the same place.
