Yesterday my Mum came round and asked me what the lovely big purple flower in the garden was. It's almost unheard of for me to know a plant she doesn't spot, so I was proud and content to report that it's an anenome. The flower had struck me as particularly gorgeous too, so I was not so happy to get home from work today and see the stem all bent. What happened there, I wondered?
Of course, there was no reply to this silent question and the flower is now safely cut and in a vase on my kitchen window ledge. But the by-product of all of this is that I also photographed it. So here's today's photo offering!
The flower got bent, but we got a nice shot from that. Today also two older women are able to get married after spending 55 years together in a relationship that they have never tried to hide. Founders of the Daughters of Bilitis, these are activists as well as lovely old-folk getting a dream-come-true-at-last. Straight marriage got bent, but the women got something they deeply deserve from that.
Not a bad day then ;-)

Love anemones--so delicate and fleeting.
