Brian's Bits

An idea?

        It's not that long since I took a shot of it all.  Today I noticed that it's still not in full flower, N. B. Thumbnail.
        I had a thought.  Thus - Is there a month in our Garden when it's totally devoid of ANY Flower? 
       From memory this p.m. I saw a Dandelion, a Buttercup, the last Alstroemeria, a Foxglove, the last of the Cyclamen, Lavender and, of course the Viburnum × bodnantense
       What I was totally unaware of, so left until last, was this:-
"Learn about Common fumitory, a pink-flowered plant that grows on dry and disturbed soils.  Find out how to identify it, where to see it, and why it is poisonous." I learnt it was Fumitory "way back Home" as a kid; Poison was never mentioned.
SO - Back to the Page for a read.
       Another Plant which has, evidently, NOT read the Book?
"When to see  -  April to October".


DUH?  "One man's meat~ ~ ~ "
       "Historically, herbalists have used Common fumitory to treat conjunctivitis and skin diseases, and to cleanse the kidneys.  But the plant is actually poisonous, so this should not be tried at home."
