Quite shameful this has taken so long to sort out. Nonetheless you must be very proud Ralph.

Yes, and it is nice for his two surviving siblings, my aunts, one of whom is 96.

Won't they just!  Super photo of the milkweed flowers (Gomphocarpus ), Pat - really shows how intricately shaped they are.

I thought it was pretty good getting three stages of flowers too.

Oh, yes, no argument with that. Very pleasing when you might have needed a whole series of pix to illustrate the sequence.

I need some more substantial milkweeds. The swan plants (Gomphocarpus fruiticosus) are so easily stripped by just a few caterpillars, and mine are taking a hammering just now! Garden centres sell them, often complete with caterpillars on them. Until recently no caterpillars were surviving the attentions of the Polistes chinensis wasps. Even though the garden is awash with these wasps, they have lost the desire for protein and now leave the caterpillars alone. I only hope the weather holds so they pupate and emerge in time.

It's grey and raining  but I am still happy - the Scottish Strawberry season has begun- and with a BANG!
Look at this monster berry -


It is the variety 'Premium' - which I'd certainly agree with  :) It was grown in Angus. Super  berries, lots of these whoppers with a gorgeous red colour and a great taste to match - bliss!!

Maggi I would be a lot happier if I had that strawberry to go with my red sauce. Yep you are right what a miserable day. I have already ate two of my great nieces chocolate bars, by the time she comes tomorrow they will all have gone.

Angela - too much chocolate is bad for her - you're doing here a favour by eating it yourself!  ;D

Is that the kind of sauce you find on strawberry tarts you get from the bakers ?  I didn't know you could buy that .

Hi folks,
We are just back from a gloriously sunny nine day break in beautiful La Grave in the French Alps, where the snowmelt flora was utterly fabulous and the views, food, wine and company were equally amazing.
We chanced upon this meadow on one of the high passes where the seed heads of the Carline Thistle had been blown into strange almost mystical patterns ...
