Spuds from the sod

Dave has sent me a photo of a potato plant growing in his garden. Something lovely from Ireland. :) He said to me:

Have you ever seen the movie "the last samurai", the samurai leader is looking at a cherry tree contemplating. no matter how long you search for the perfect blossom you can never find it as "in the end" they are all perfect.

well, thats what my pic does for me...

I have been growing potatoes for 3 years, and each year it amazes me that such a humble vegetable should have such a strikingly beautiful flower.

My camera does the flower no justice as It doesnt have a proper zoom facility.

The petals are purple, and the heart of the flower is the most vivid orange imaginable. Segmented like a peeled orange.
