Hi,

Gardening, gardening, gardening, what's that all about? I know, "My love, she comes in colours" she has a garden but my love is the wild.

Wild flowers are so important to our wild life.

Lookit!







Please.



Wild thing.



You make my heart sing.



Kapow!

There is the gardening for wildlife section. Our backyard - not even a garden - has pots and borders of wildflowers, alongside feeding/watering stations for birds. Will be acquiring a butterfly feeding station soon (betterware, of all places).

Would be nice to see suggestions for attractants, winter homes, etc.

Keep the enthusiasm going!

Thanks Lorna,

I am not gonna shout. I am just gonna "tormentil" you until I get what I want.



C'mon, do I look like I need smileys.



Seriously though, little flowers play such an important role in nature and the most important ones are our native wild flowers. So much of our wildlife is dependant on specific plants. It would be good to talk about it.

That is different from gardening.

Take care.
