Another photo of  Iris reticulata ‘Harmony’  coming into full bloom.
It surprise what happen in 24 hours in the plant world, turn a flower bud into somthing that is beautiful to look at!

The morning start off with me doing all those medicinal things that coming part of my life, like changing the stomma bag and the weekly change of the leg bag and remembering to take all the tablets at breakfast, that currently one Metformin 500mg tablet, one Apixaban 5mg tablet and two Loperamide 2mg capsules.

After baging up all the medicinal waste and putting in the grey bin, I had my daily walk around the back garden and notice that Iris reticulata 'Harmony' was coming into full bloom after taking a photo of the flower bud the day before, so decide to treat you to another photo of it! It growing in a tub near the front door on the driveway. Again I use same setup, like did with yesterday photo with the Pentax K-1 mark two body,  Irix 150mm macro lens, Silk SBH-150 DQ N tripod (If you doing alot macro photography, its worth weight in gold) and pentax quick release cable (I have found its better off to buy one made by Pentax than copy from another manufacturer, as tend last longer).

I have spend the rest reading the kindle and eating, tomorrow off to see the District Nurse in Carnforth  to check the dressing on my chest. On Tuesday got P1CC  Lines being put in at hospital in Lancaster and visit to Stumma Nurse clinic also in same hospital, then treatment for the chemotherapy starts on the Thursday, so its a busy week head for me.
