Here today but gone tomorrow

I picked Vince up from the airport today and now we are home again but only for one night. Tomorrow afternoon we leave for Narrogin to celebrate the centenary of the Catholic school where Vince received all his education. The school was started by a group of nuns. Vince’s late sister later joined that particular order at the age of 16. We will be staying with our nephew and it will be quite a reunion for Vince, most of his brothers and his remaining sister, not to mention some of the next generation who also started their education at the school. I attended the convent for piano lessons for many years and later taught piano there so I will have many memories of the place too although the original convent building has been sold. I enjoyed my time with my sister and I’ll write more about that another time. The photo is an unusual flower which was blooming outside the barn at my sister’s place. The open bloom is very large and above it you can see a bud about to open. Does anyone know what it is? When I have time I’ll try to find out what it is but in the meantime perhaps someone is familiar with it.
