Both are considered noxious weeds in the US but the myrtle spurge in the UK has been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit and is valued in dry, Mediterranean style rock gardens. The willow herbContinue reading “Green with pink”
Straw flowers and lavender
This post will have a little about these two plants but then will be an appreciation of two special people.

A rose that travelled
When grandad Brian died some very dear friends gave us a rose shrub. We are having a period of hot weather and I brought these three in.

Scabiosa atropurpurea…

Haltern Am See and Hohe Mark forest
To start a verse about strangers written by Moses as God speaking. I found this intersting: If a stranger stays with you in your land, you will not annoy/irritate or distress them with petty provocations. They will be as one born among you, and you will love them as yourself. Leviticud 19:33,34 One law/decree/ ruleContinue reading “Haltern Am See and Hohe Mark forest”
