Those bramble-briars, they’ll grow anywhere, even on top of a gate post 🔼🔽 a wild rose briar already colouring for autumn

Surprised to see honeysuckle still in flower, but we do love it 🔼🔽 and you’re wondering why a stinging nettle. Just as I lined up the perfect butterfly shot, the wind blew. Photo-bombed by a stinging nettle!

Candy-pink field bindweed 🔽

🔽 Yellow loosestrife growing amongst the reeds around the village pond (which was disastrously low on water)

I had wondered if this was one of the chervils or a carrot. But enlarged on my laptop I could see that telltale red dot at the centre. It’s carrot 🔼 🔽 No query on this, it’s field scabious

Gorgeous as usual. I’m forever jealous that you actually go outside and enjoy nature. I always mean to but….

But ‘but’ won’t get you there. Though if you live in that concert desert called a city, perhaps I can understand it. Yet even in cities there is usually a park or other green space. Being n such spaces is essential for our physical and mental health. Go try it. You’ll love it

lovely pics indeed, especially the nettle. Food plant for so many lovely butterflies.

If memory serves (always dubious when we get older) I think the tortoiseshell butterflies lay their eggs on the nettle. My excuse for leaving some at the less disturbed and seen edge of my garden
