this and that & nothing in particular

I'm still waiting for my peonies to burst into flower, so I gave in to temptation and bought some this morning from the supermarket! I have a feeling our recent weather might be holding back the flowers in the garden!
If like me, you often crave rainy days, then take a visit to [this site]. It's become a favourite place for me to visit.

The gardens look lush and green and very leafy at the moment. I found time for a quick craft this week, this pretty hair decoration, using [This tutorial] Does anyone know what this flower is? I found it in the front garden this morning. It looks like a wild orchid to me, but I could be totally wrong. It's not very pretty, I think it's quite ugly. Any ideas?
*Update* Thank you to Ruby's Mama, for identifying the flower as a Bee Orchid. I've since googled it and you can read about it [here]. I know it is meant to look like - and does look like - a bee, but I can't help but see a laughing jester face when I look at the photo!

Well, the football has only just started, but I'm bored with it already. I am not a football fan. Still, must support England, so I hope they do well.
