summer garden 2011

The chestnut trees have been buzzing with bees and musky flower pheremones as the flowers begin their growth into baby chestnuts
The foxglove is quite at home in its little corner it has carved out beside the wormwood

And we've got new arrivals who most likely hitched a ride over here from Carolyn's garden in the compost we spread in the spring: Poppies! Such an amazing plant to watch bloom- each bent over stem waits for its turn to pop into scarlet bloom brilliantly for a day and then fall to pieces of red confetti on the ground
And lamb's wool, that soft furry queen whose purple flowers are loved by bees and pollinators. She's made herself quite happy here.
