Anyone for cricket?

Clean Slate blipped a 'one of these' a while ago.

This is a different one!

It's obviously hardy enough to survive a sharp frost.

I think it's exquisite.
(I do whilst it's on the bush anyway.
If, however, it leapt high, as crickets are inclined to do, and went 'ZZZ' in my ear, I probably wouldn't be so thrilled.
The Juniper Shield Bug Incident has much to answer for in my world).

But I made scones too! (Productive day!)
Does anyone else find that the 'rubbing in' process necessitates standing on tiptoes. With tongue pressed firmly on roof of mouth??? To get more air in...
... Just me then?
