Crocosmia lucifer. Or as others will know as Montbretia. Reclassified by our lovely bontanists. They'll do this now and again as they learn more about the genetics of plants 💜

A tiny weeny frog in my garden. The common garden frog is an indicator species, which means that it's presence or absence is a key indicator of the health of the environment they inhabit. So, that's the pond with this wee frogs seal of approval!

The foxgloves are nearly over now. The latin name is Digitalis...because the flowers fit over your finger! It has very potent properties (do not injest), namely digoxin, which is used in conventional medicine for certain heart conditions.

It flowered! I rescued it in January. I think it's Phalaenopsis 'Leopard Prince', but happy to be corrected. I'm so happy!

Argyrocytisus battandieri, or Moroccan Broom, or Pineapple tree, actually really smells of pineapples and is a great tree for City gardens.

Nigella damascena, or Love-in-a-mist is a great addition to any informal or cottage garden. A great annual, that self seeds beautifully and fills in any gaps you have.

It's amazing what a wee bit of rain will do. Beautiful rose now flowering in one of my client's gardens today. It's really special because it was her Mum's, who is sadly no longer with us, so it's incredible special ❤️

Getting ready.
Fun facts:
1. Technically, not a fruit! The red bit we eat is formed from the flower's receptacle, not the ovary, which is what defines a true fruit.
2. They're called strawberries because they are mulched with straw! It's that simple.

The Large Red Damselfly (male, I think 🤔 I can see any yellow markings) had been flying around the pond. So beautiful 😍

Beautiful 💜 Cornish folklore says that Pixies, or Piskies, use tulips as cradles for their babies at night. The tulips close at night to keep the babies safe and gently sway to their music 🎶

This is three cornered garlic, or Allium triquetrum. It's really pretty, & you can cook with it, but it's problematic...
First introduced in UK in the 1850s. It's non native & seriously invasive (UKWCA sec9).
If you do have it, just remember to manage it ☺️🌱
