š¼ Yes, it is a Potato flower. Very definitely a member of the nightshade family (in case you’ve ever doubted it) š½ Dog Rose, not sure what the red leaves are, but they make for an interesting photo

š¼ White Bryony. Love that twisting tendril. There’ll be plentiful (poisonous) red berries there in a few months time š½ Talking of berries… Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium)

Lovely – I particularly like the potato flowers I forgot how delicate and pretty these star shaped beauties are – and looks underneath will be a great crop š Hope your ankle is bearing up š¤š¼

Thank you, yes, the ankle is repairing. What I was surprised to see when crossing a potato field was the fruit. I was used to seeing the flowers; my father grew potatoes. But the fruit looks exactly like tomatoes. But of course, it’s logical really

Glad to hear you are on the mend – my dad used to grow them and I had a go one year too its quite exciting digging to see whatās grown – but I had forgotten how pretty these star shaped flowers are š©·

I’ve a thing for grasses. This is most definitely my favourite. I’ve been trying for a decent shot of it for years. Think I might have done it with this one. Now I’d love to embroider the scene

I had to give it up; I had a cyst buried amongst my carpal-bones that robbed me of procession grip… couldn’t hold the needle. I wasn’t too good with a pen for a while, neither. But I had the cyst removed 20-something years ago. By then my life was turning to different interests (not easy to embroider when you’re walking!)

Thank you, Indira, on both counts. We are repairing! I’m not good at behaving, not when behaving means putting my feet up!

I hear ya! For me it was arthritis, then three wrist surgeries. Still not fully flexible/functional yet but getting there. Doubtful I’ll ever embroider again. *sigh*

Mine might have been cured by a wrist op, but photography had captured me by then, and hasn’t let go of me yet!
