May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy!
Psalms 126 : 5


Yellow archangel, is a non-native species but like the dead nettle species. The flowers are lipped and hooded. The leaves are hairy with toothed edges growing in opposing pairs. They spread by long runners and seeds.
And then the pink Creeping comfrey, the flowers are in one sided spikes, deep pink at first, then bluish and finally creamy white. The leaves are inserted into the stem. It is an aggressive coloniser and often thrown out by gardeners.
As one grows older one should grow more expert in finding beauty in unexpected places, in deserts and even towns, in ordinary human faces and among wild weeds.
C.C. Vyvyan.

alkenet ( darker blue with white centre) yellow archangel,
creeping comfrey in pink and forget-me-not (paler blue with yellow centre).
All picked on the road side to the blue bell woods.



Politeness is the flower of humanity.
Joseph Joubert
Every flower blooms in its own time.
