I want you to see what I see:
Buttercups bright against tall hedgerows,
wide banks of Flag Iris among the reeds,
a hay meadow of startling beauty.
Here, among the tall grass and Dandelions
are the plump flowers of Bird's-foot Trefoil
and by your feet, silvery Cinquefoil.
And, if you allow yourself to be still,
your head slowly fills with birdsong.

Arlene,
Port Orchard flowers
Beautiful.
Aaaaaatchoo! Beautiful.
Lovely, Alice, lovely.
I have been photographing the weeds over in my allotment and they look just as good as my flowers that I have coaxed into blooming this side of the fence...
can anyone remind me of the business about holding buttercups under one's chin ?
If you hold a buttercup under someone's chin and you can see a yellow reflection then that person is supposed to like butter - of course you always get the reflection in sunshine so it's a bit of a no-lose situation - but we always did it as kids. Beautiful yellows Alice, thanks for sharing
Glorios Alice, what a golden scene. Fabulous!
The organic slug pellets have worked wonders protecting my lupins. Mainly snails here and the slugs seem to have vanished. Definitely worth a try. Have a lovely Bank Holiday
Stephx
so many golden things...
such a feast.
It is almost iridescent!
Is it wrong to want to roll around in each of those photos?
And it smells divine, too. A scent in words.
Hey, those are my iris!
