That wooden cross looks like as though someone might be buried, its not someone's name on the post. Hope your feelin better soon. Shirley

No one has mentioned the Panasonic DMC-FZ18 with LUMIX lens, the 18 is the zoom, you can buy a close-up lens, wide lenes and additional zoom lenes. The camera cost about £200.

Hi, I thought that it might be Valerian. Shirley

I am a gardener by trade and I just don't have a clue what it is but if you take a leaf and a flower to the local garden centre then they should know what it is. Then you can come back and all the gardeners can go out and buy one. I hope you enjoy this web site, I'm sure you will. Regards Shirley

Which country were you in when you took this beauty, or was it your greenhouse, or is it made out of silk ? Shirley

Its ok Denise. I had noticed you were up very early it was very muggy last night, its cooler to-day so I expect you'll get a better night's sleep to-night. Of course if you get your better half to do the lunch you can have a snooze in the chair . Shirley

I lot of people are not lucky enough to see Fritillaries or Hairstreaks, if this theme will be the case a lot of people will not be are to join in. As Mouse says there still a few butterflies about and it would be nice to have butterflies that are seen in September. The Commas and Red Admiral's alwa...

I forgot I have loads seeds of honesty if you would like some and I also have Lady's Smock, I could wrap some in bubble wrap and post some too you. Shirley.

Do you what any rag wort, I could send you some. My field got cut to-day, seven weeks late and there is some ragwort its a bit limb but its free if you want it, I was going to save it for Rogerdodge he likes it.

I like your Comma photo very much, and it doesn't matter what camera you have as long as your happy with your own photo's. My Kodak, I'm sure some people think its a hopeless camera but I like it and I know other folks on this web site have compact camera's. Keep up with your photo's, very nice that...

I've been looking at the Adonis Blue and it seems so similar to the Common Blue although much brighter, I don't suppose my photo is the Adonis, every time I take a photo of a blue I always refer to it as a Common Blue. I've looked at the Species on the web site and the Adonis is very bright blue. Pi...

White butterflies are everywhere in my garden in North Wales, the little blighters are also attacking my cabbages in my polytunnel, they are pairing up every few minutes!!, they love the buddlia, even when its cool they are about. I suppose my garden is sheltered when out of it, the wind is cold so ...

Went for a nice walk to-day thought I'd give it a go looking for a Small Heath but alas no, 10 Brown Wall's instead, they are everywhere and when I got home in amongst the flower on a little stone duck another Wall, a few Speckled Woods about and a rather nice Small Tortoishell. duck.jpg tort.jpg Pi...

Lucky you Eris, I've been looking for these for ages and a really nice clear photo. Shirley

I heard that, Roger.

This afternoon along a Puplic Footpath Ragwort was growing and looking for butterflies, this is what I found.

With the Ragwort all gone nearly I could only come up with this moth no idea what it is. But to give the poor Buddleia section a rest from the dear old Ragwort I'll open a new section for what I found along a puplic footpath later this afternoon.

P.S Roger,

Just really read your comments, I own the field.

O.K Roger, Here's the deal, I'll grow the dreaded Ragwort and when Defra fine me which believe me it would be a heafty fine you'll it pay for me, thanks :wink: I'll pop over to the field as I haven't finish the clear up and see if I can see the Small Skipper's and I can then take a photo. This my ha...

Talk about Skippers, I have this field and I was surprised to see the dreaded Ragwort flower in the middle of the field. So I had to go with very thick gloves and black bin liners to get the whole plants to burn them. To my surprise the flowers were covered in Small Skippers. So, I cut the stems to ...
