Ingestion of the bulb, plant or flower by animals can cause severe vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and even possible cardiac arrhythmias or respiratory depression.

Demonic spawn such as this seem immune

April wasn't nice enough to get anything planted outside. Two weeks ago, dug and extended the bed.



The original Yoga Man x EKSB seeds auction arrived crushed, only two seeds were any good that germinated. Seller is going to send replacement seeds this Summer. Another person had the same cross, so I bought another 4 seeds.



Bonus seeds



Bought another lot of Desire Of Nations x EKSB seeds.



The 9 seedlings on the left will be planted out this coming week. Making room to start more seeds.

The last two days have been hot and dry after 6 months of rain. Lousewort is flowering on a local golf course.



Milkwort is also in flower.



Sea Campion.



Gorse is full of flower, perhaps due to the wet conditions.



This is what it looks like without the rain.
