This week’s Cheering Up Mondays flower nearly didn’t make it.

I decided to grow this beautiful thunbergia in a pot on the patio but the slugs and snails had different ideas. The plants I put in at the base of a lovely rusted obelisk were continually eaten. Thankfully, they eventually fought back and are now flowering, late but beautiful.
