I could never get my red hot pokers to flower.
Yours look lovely!
I love the idea of a bashful spider!
Spiders are great, aren't they? And so diverse! A lot of people don't realise that not all spiders spin orb webs; some of them are very ingenious in what they do.
Like bees. I remember my first encounter with a leaf-cutter bee in my garden, many years ago, using its built-in circular 'pastry cutter' to take circles out of my beech leaves, and on seeing it flying to and from my garden table, found a brilliant little nest made of the leaf circles underneath the table!
Then there are wasps. I know we hate them in close proximity, but when they make their paper nests, they are brilliant! I found an empty one in my disused shed, and tried to keep it, but they crumble as soon as you try to move them.
It was a work of art, though.
Ain't nature wunnerful?
Saw foxy in my garden earlier this morning, which surprised me a bit, as the jungle is finally starting to go. They were there a lot when it was very overgrown.
