Haribo stands for “Hans Riegel Bonn” after the founder & city where the company began in 1922
First called Tanzbären, dancing bears, popular in Europe at the time🐻😢
A single factory makes 100million a day, they've also been sent to space🚀
Ladybirds 🐞 like them too.. 🤦

Beautiful wasn't it? ❤️ 🌝🌙
Last night was the BEAVER moon🦫
Many 🌙 names come from Native American culture, lunar phases were used for timekeeping
It is thought that the 🦫 moon is named after setting 🦫 traps or from their activity building winter dams

I have a box of 1000 bulbs ready 🤗 one of my favourite garden jobs🌷
Did you know bulbs grow even if planted upside down as they have statocytes with statoliths that sense gravity (gravitropism) guiding shoots up & roots down, while light (phototropism) & stored energy help correct it🌷

Hverdagslykke is Norwegian for everyday happiness & contentment in daily life
Like a warm cup of ☕, taking a deep breath, a walk in nature, having family time
A cultural concept encouraging being present in life's routines rather than major events to be happy

I've been digging in daffodil bulbs.. nothing fancy, just a bag from the supermarket
I'm glad of the 📸 I take of my garden, they remind me where others are so I don't over plant for next season🌿
It's name (narcissus) derives from the Greek ‘narco’ as in narcotic😵💫

Wild 🌬️🍃across Cheltenham, we've hunkered down at home. Looking through photos of last year I came across this of Montpellier Gardens. The leaves were so autumnal🍂🍁
Autumn is derived from the Latin autumnus related to the Etruscan "autu"🍂🍁.. A little bit of Tuscany 🌞 in Cheltenham💐

This is arctoparmelia centrifuga lichen
Lichen means "licker" from the Greek to lick. It's literally licking the glacial boulder, I can 👀 that!
Lichen is a symbiotic complex life form partnership of a fungus & an alga. The dominant partner is the 🍄🟫 Fascinating!🌿

The word squirrel comes from the Greek skiouros meaning shadow tail 💕 referring to it's bushy tail
I prefer the old English word for 🐿️ "acweorna" deriving from āc (oak) & weorna (weaver). I can just picture 🐿️weaving through ancient broad oaks

Enjoy these 📸 of Imperial Square, Cheltenham. Gorgeous vibrant planting with a little bit of Gustav Holst conducting the skies
If you've not tried classical music The Planets is a great 'in' to listen to. Holst was born in Cheltenham in 1874 🇦🇹🇬🇧🎵
