Wildlife photos are hard to come by at the moment as I'm sort of house bound so I've resorted to taking pics of the garden. Sad, but I'm finding several new subjects of interest. Today's subjects are seeds and bulbs that were given to me by friends.
The teasels that were planted as seeds last year (thanks Robert) are now starting to come into flower and although there are only a few florets on the flower heads at the moment, they are already attracting a fair number of insects:
Hopefully the 20 or so flower heads will self-seed and we'll have a karger crop next year, although they don't actually flower until the second year so we'll have to wait a while for any significant increase.
The Crocosmia Lucifer (thanks Allan) are bursting with colour and really brighten up the whole garden:
