May is a colourful month. So here are some white things spied around Gribin Isaf today.
The Wild Garlic is spreading in the wood
We enjoyed the Dandelions in their yellow glory and now they give a second delight as they send off their seeds far and wide
They are few and far between in our meadow
The May blossom is only just getting going as the month is two-thirds gone
This Margherita is springing up out of a hard chipping path
The Stitchwort has been around for a while
The local verges are lined with Cow Parsley which, with a bit of a breeze, executes a Mexican wave as we pass by
Daisies, like Dandelions, should not be taken for granted
Solomon’s Seal hangs its bells
White Heather is two a penny but White Tree Heather is a bit special
Geraniums red…. and Geraniums white
White butterflies and white blossoms
And lots of Jack-by-the-hedge for the Orange Tips
Strawberry flowers crop up everywhere. In the strawberry beds but also in the wild form in every nook and crevice
The Sorrel is coming to the end of its season
You didn’t think you could get away without a white Tulip did you?
An assertive white duck
a shy white duck
and a duck that should not be white (see Cayugas, elsewhere)
A spikey white hen
but does she lay the white eggs?
(Partly) white Claire being a good mother today
It is possible some of our bees swarmed off from their white hive today
Everything fades to white
It happens to us all
as our bones bleach in the ground
I can see for ordinary everyday use its when I want to read a book it’s not good.. It would be good to talk on the phone after I have been to the hospital tomorrow. Early evening might be a good time. I have my hot meal between 5and 6pm. There are a number of Rowan’s of named varieties in this area and they have already had their flowers. I thought perhaps mine was having a year off but now it is covered with flower. I grew this one from a berry and now it is almost as tall as the copper beech. M
