Two specialists of the arable field 🔼 Pineapple weed, a cousin to chamomile; it smells just like pineapple when trodden upon, and I do enjoy standing on it 🔽 Scarlet Pimpernel. It became scarce for many years. So good to see it making a healthy come back

🔼 White Bryony clambering over what’s possibly a replanted Christmas tree. That’ll look fantastic with the berries, come late summer and autumn 🔽 Young Oak leaves showing us a full range of colours

Oh yum! Do you have Creamsicles in the UK …. vanilla ice cream swirled with orange sherbet on a stick. That’s what I was reminded of when looking at the poppy pic. Lovely!

I don’t know if we do cos it’s not something I’d look for, but I get what you’re saying and you are entirely right. And now you have been fancying one. Does sound rather delicious 😃

Dreamy on a hot afternoon and goes surprisingly well with an ice cold Prosecco! 🥂

Lovely display. I did not know there was a plant called a scarlet pimpernel. Most interesting…..

They seek it here, they seek it there! It’s called scarlet, but I’d say it’s closer to orange

But all too soon gone once the summer heat gets a hold and withholds the rain. Then everything dries, and we’re into autumn again. But you have to love those cycles

Love them all, Crispina. Why are they called Dog roses?

I’m not sure but I think ‘dog’ is a generic term for ‘wild’ or ‘not having pedigree’
