What treasure, Lugg -- thank you! Wonderful pictures and what luck to be there when so many things were blooming at the same time.

#242 just beautiful; love the berries too. This is sea holly and, (I think,) marram grass ??

Just now seeing Lugg's lovely pictures, beautifully suffused with that magical light by the sea.
Love your soft-core autumn pomegranate, Kerouac.

Lovely Mick - Its just starting to flower here - I love the lanes when they are surrounded by it. Its a particular treat for many horses.

We have had such a marvellous spell of weather, most unfortunate that it corresponds with our lockdown as we try and escape this dreaded lurgy. Anyway, on my exercise ambles I have noticed an abundance of dandelions, as here on the very edge of a well used path. Also a lot of little shirt buttons

Such pretty wild things, even the well-trodden path.

That is a vicious looking character, are those spines along its back?

#257 is about as lovely as a photograph can be! I'd like to order a greatly enlarged print for my wall, please.

#257 caught my eye even as a tiny photo on my phone and it's even better at full size. The light seems to be coming through the petals.
When I see grasses in photos of my garden I kick myself for not weeding beforehand (as if I were that energetic), but in kerouac's photo they remind us of the plant's usual companions in nature, at least in France. Wild poppies in our part of the US are small and orange and I try to discourage them. Years ago I got seed from the wild and then decided I didn't like them. Hindsight would have saved me years of garden trouble, and wild poppies are the least of them.

Kerouac I think those pretty little blooms are Pentace? Is that right Bixa? And Mick - my utter astonishment at those lovely little faces peeking out the crevice!

Kerouac I think those pretty little blooms are Pentace? Is that right Bixa? And Mick - my utter astonishment at those lovely little faces peeking out the crevice! They are violas tod. A variety I grew some 3 or 4 years ago and seedlings still pop up in strange places. Very welcome.
