Sunshine Challenge - Day Seven - Zinnia, Red Rose and Daisy (Day 4)

[smallhobbit]

Today sunshine_challenge has the Zinnia as its flower.  The Victorian meaning of the Zinnia is a friend you haven't seen for a while.  Which worked in remarkably well, as today I had lunch with an ex-flatmate who is in Gloucester for the Three Choirs Festival.  We haven't seen each other for some years, for various reasons, so it was lovely to catch up.

The alternative flower is the Red Rose.  Two years ago it was our 40th wedding anniversary, the ruby anniversary and so I bought my husband a suitable rose bush.  Unknown to me, our son also bought us a similar rose, so now we have two.  Here is a flower from one of the two bushes, I'm not sure which.




I am also playing catch-up, because I knitted a Daisy to go with the theme for Day 4:

I'm super-impressed with the knitted daisy!! Wow - I have no idea how one makes something like that.

Thank you very much. I follow the pattern closely and then cobble it together :)
