Aren't they...

...coming along a treat.

These photos were taken on 1 July 2013 and as you can see, the flowers are starting to fill out beautifully. The splash of colour that they bring is lovely as there is still so much building work going on in the area...

 ...the flowers look so much nicer than all that scaffolding.
There is still a way to go before these reach their best...

 ...but they are coming along nicely; don't you think! A bit of sunshine can work wonders.

 The colours used are the ones that Newham council normally use around the Stratford area...

 ...and they look so pretty. The mass of tiny flowers co-ordinates throughout the town in the flower "trees", hanging baskets and troughs. As they fill out they are certainly becoming more noticeable from the office...

 ...as you can see from the shadows, this was taken quite late in the day.
The last time I showed you the "trees" I mentioned the poor flower beds...

...certainly no 'love' there. Just a year ago this was a riot of colour - how things change.

It will be two weeks since taking these photos before I get to see them again as I am currently flitting between three offices (don't ask - but know that I'm not a happy bunny). I wonder if there will be any change to the flower beds and how much the flowers in the "trees" will have grown...........................
