Mine haven't multiplied that much yet, but then again, that's our garden, it's a difficult garden for any plant to survive, so I'm already glad if a plant just doesn't disappear. Fritillaria have been coming back year after year so far.<br />Don't you have Lily beetles attacking the Fritillaria? There are numerous of these little warriors in our garden this year, eating leaves and flowers alike. <br /><br />Marianflowersandhomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262453899981838266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-91068137916242050362014-04-09T19:23:08.580+01:002014-04-09T19:23:08.580+01:00You must try it out Sarah - you are one of the few...You must try it out Sarah - you are one of the few people who have not said that it look scary or needed bravery.

We tended to try and book a flight near to a special occasion or when we thought that the countryside would be looking good. This year we finally learnt our lesson, and decided that we would keep booking a new date every week until one finally materialised. It only took us three bookings to get the trip. We now know the ropes if an opportunity ever arises again.<br />Glad that you enjoyed the photos, they turned out better than I imagined.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-31921151497217458122014-04-08T18:17:27.529+01:002014-04-08T18:17:27.529+01:00What a perfect time of day and weather for such a ...What a perfect time of day and weather for such a magical ride, Rosemary. Certainly an experience well worth waiting for. I know from what my sister told me how very long one can wait after booking for one's turn to come and the conditions to be just right. It's something i'd love to do myself one day, especially if I could land having taken such beautiful photos as you've shown us here.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-36386866107636646312014-04-07T22:43:23.440+01:002014-04-07T22:43:23.440+01:00People think that it is brave, but it is not - it ...People think that it is brave, but it is not - it is a very tranquil, peaceful experience flying through the sky and also beautiful.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-40141737066609974592014-04-07T22:40:25.833+01:002014-04-07T22:40:25.833+01:00Dear Madelief - If you have the opportunity to tak...Dear Madelief - If you have the opportunity to take a balloon flight then please do - you will not regret it.
