Dreaming of summer and sunny days ! This is Nicotiana alata 'Lime Green' , one of my favourite half-hardy annual, moth pollinated and the bright colour is so easy to use in the garden #rhsphotocomp

@ArabellaSock I understand, I feel frustrated sometimes that I have to spend time with people, and be sociable, in order to feel a bit more "normal"...I wish I was ok with just being on my own, but that's when I'm worst. I think being ill doesn't help, no matter what the illness is
