I love how royal it sounds when it is a weed that grows along all the country lanes. Even so, it makes a sweet bouquet!Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09403233175071026416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-87094777980009838422014-05-29T15:46:02.978+01:002014-05-29T15:46:02.978+01:00You are a good citizen, Lucille.

We took some photos and will look them up but it would have been easier if you'd just come along and told us.

I expect that you will be seeing some bees and butterflies before long. Isn't it interesting to think of how they actually do detect that you've set up a wonderful buffet for them?<br /><br />This post of yours and some others I've been seeing in the past few weeks have definitely fed my country dreams. I know that my urban apartment life is denying me some wonderful times. Thank you for the inspiration.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-50624899830544606282014-05-13T22:14:17.900+01:002014-05-13T22:14:17.900+01:00It's only a matter of time.It's only a matter of time.S.
