@ThurratHayley @belfastcc @FoBBG_ @longwoodgardens Fantastic, hayley. Don't forget to keep count and log the frequency. There'll be a test at the end of the season lol

@ThurratHayley @FoBBG_ @belfastcc @longwoodgardens I hit the double yoke jackpot a while back when making brekkie lol If you get both blooms at the same time you will be known forever as Hayley Two Flowers!

@ThurratHayley I've been feeding for weeks and it likes salmon dreamies lol

[Adrienne Armstrong @Adriennebotanic]

I've been adopted. This is not my #cat lol

[Adrienne Armstrong @Adriennebotanic]

@ThurratHayley @belfastcc @FoBBG_ Looking like it, right enough. You may pray to the weather gods for sunshine lol 😆

[Adrienne Armstrong @Adriennebotanic]

Looking good Hayley, I'll have to get over soon to see it! @FoBBG_ @belfastcc @longwoodgardens

[Hayley Thurrat @ThurratHayley]

A little late to the party, however l wanted to be sure everything would get off on the right footing. Lots of prep work was put in by all the team at Botanic. From pond clearance to propagation, to get our giant waterlily happy. Here's to a great growing season ahead!😊

[Adrienne Armstrong @Adriennebotanic]

@ThurratHayley I preferred it's old name #Maniltoa - it took me ages to keep it in my head, and when i did they bloody changed it lol The new growth is always a delight to see.

[Adrienne Armstrong @Adriennebotanic]

@ThurratHayley Look at you!!! Well done, Hayley. Hope you get some nice judging visits to go on - i'll go with ya for a wee day out lol

[Adrienne Armstrong @Adriennebotanic]

In poundland after my irish class wed to get a couple of postcard size photo frames and they had a shelf full of analogue clocks saying various times. Found myself automatically thinking Tá sé cúig i ndiadh a deich etc as i walked by them. Something is sticking lol

[Adrienne Armstrong @Adriennebotanic]

Finally did 100 consecutive days on #wordle Nearly done it a few of times but broke my streak by picking wrong option on last try or forgetting to log in. Now going for 150 lol

[Adrienne Armstrong @Adriennebotanic]

[Hayley Thurrat @ThurratHayley]
