Sunflower, that's really pretty and such a treat to see it growing in the wild like that.

It is!!! Fantastic.
Just let's hope no-one comes along and picks it!! They are a protected species - maybe you should inform someone of exactly where you saw it.

Yep - a gorgeous bee orchid. Freaky looking things aren't they, orchids?

Thanks, I love Robins, they're so friendly and are always keeping me company when I'm in the garden, at least when hubby asks who I'm talking to I can say the Robin rather than having to admit insanity talking to myself!  ;D

Hi! The robin in my garden is trying to use the hanging feeder these days. Seems to be having some success as well!!! Well the pigeons keep eating the seeds that fall on the soil below so there is never enough left for him!
