Purple, what is that stunning flower in your first photo?  I don't think I have ever seen one like that.

Nice photo of yours, post 15. Are they poppies?

Yes, wild ones in Athens.

j*oono - I think that is an abutilon or Chinese lantern tree

They come in orange and yellow too (if I have identified it correctly).

 Yep.  It is.  I had an orange, a yellow and a white.  Couldn't get my

hands on a red, no matter how hard I tried. Only saved the orange

in the drought - the most common one.

Thanks Laney and Stawka.  I kind of recognised the flower shape but never in that colour.  It is stunning.

He really is Lic.  I love that photo.  You are so right!  I didn't realise before how much he looked like his mum at that age 🙂
