Glowing

Rudbeckias are one of my favourite garden flowers - so vibrant and glowing. Should have held on to this image for when our temperatures plunge in a few weeks' time : ) This joyful mass of colour was photographed at the Calgary Zoo back on August 23rd.

"Rudbeckia is a plant genus of 23 species in the family Asteraceae. The species are commonly called coneflowers and black-eyed-susans; all are native to North America and many species are cultivated in gardens for their showy yellow or gold flower heads."

My brother's house in England is having to be auctioned on September 15th. I would SO appreciate your good luck vibes! This has been a real roller-coaster ride, especially with the buyer who backed out after a few months - the Sold sign was already in the front garden! Houses just aren't selling in England, but I am really, really hoping that someone comes forward either at the auction or before. It would be such an enormous relief to have this off my shoulders : )
