De raten van het wespennest in de nestkast (mees). Het is een “inspectiekast” met klapluikje waarachter ruitje. @wespenstichting.nl

Kan dit een nest zijn (geweest) van de Aziatische hoornaar @wespenstichting.nl ? Gevonden onder een enorme Metasequoia. Amsterdam-Sloten.

Wespennest in mezenkast aan schuur. Ze hebben het druk! Kan dit de Saksische zijn @wespenstichting.nl ? (Ik kan niet horen of ze een accent hebben 😜)

Groene schildwants op blad Camelia. Camouflage-rakker! (De Camelia staat nog in een te krappe pot en lijdt wat gebrek; vandaar zo licht groen, maar daar kan de wants ook niets aan doen) #ElkeDagEenInsect

Spider Lily. A forgotten bulb; put in a container two weeks ago. Seems to want to catch up….

Happy 70th birthday, Monty! 🪏🐕🌱

Please join us in wishing the one and only Monty Don a very happy birthday – your passion, enthusiasm and skills have inspired so many over the years, and we hope you're celebrating today!
Monty Don wearing a white tshirt and jeans, pushing a wheelbarrow full of pumpkins in a garden. Monty Don seated in a lush garden with two attentive golden retrievers by his side. Monty Don wearing a blue shirt, sitting cross legged on the ground with a wheelbarrow behind him and a cup to the side. Monty Don stands in a lush garden surrounded by green foliage and holding a large brassica, wearing a casual blue shirt, looking towards the camera with a slight smile.

A hedgehog has chosen my urban yard for it’s summer retreat. Rather extraordinary given the surrounding yards (all fully paved).

My lilies are out. But they wither soon during the heatwave.

Seedlings of Japanese white pine (Pinus parviflora) and a holly that I didn’t even sowed. (Used the same container / soil last year and ik has been outside. Apparently the holly-seed was “dumped” by a 🐦‍⬛)
