inspiration all around us

By Marykathleen

inspired by weeds

I am reading Richard Mabey's book, 'Weeds'. It's a real cornucopia of references to weeds from artists, poets, historians, botanists, folklore and his own personal research.

It has made me look again at our 'barren' area in our garden. Today's rain has turned the desert into a haven for hundreds of seedlings. I have identified poppies, herb robert, willow-herb and oil seed rape. I can't identify this one yet. I think we might have to invest in a more comprehensive wild flower book.

I can't wait to see them all in flower!
