Pollen Nation

What lovely visitors; you were certainly correct in assuming the bric-a-brac in the glasshouse would be useful one day.

Ivy flowers (which only grow from unlobed rather than 5-pointed leaves) have an abundance of pollen quite late in the season, which might explain why the glasshouse sometimes serves as a pit-stop for bugs. And if blackbirds are conversant in the language of flowers, they might also have chosen to stop by because of the ivy, which welcomingly connotes 'friendship'.

Notes

  • This so true!
    A person who is nice to you but rude to a waiter is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
  • The best fertiliser...
    is the farmers foot steps.
  • The best way to keep a plant....
    .. is to give it away
  • Don't dig Parsnips with a fork!
    Use a spade - you won't wreck the roots that way.
