Rubus chamaemorus

The mysterious flower on top of Miekle Says in the Lammermuirs, referred to in my last post, is not mountain aven, but cloudberry.  A very beautiful plant, and worth reading about here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubus_chamaemorus
I've got to go now because Adele has just come on stage at Glastonbury.  My brother lives within earshot of the stage, but I am content with being four hundred miles away from all those swaying people, and the mud (there's probably mud).  Adele's clearly very excited to be on that stage, she's jumping around like a spring lamb!

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.  

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

(Not) in a vase on Monday!

The challenge this week, set by Cathy at  https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com to celebrate five years of In a Vase on Monday, was to offer (Not) in a vase on Monday!  So here is my interpretation of that idea with one of my Plant Belles, which I tend to use for things I find and enjoy.  I weave bits and pieces through the metal ribs and keep them until they fall apart, or something even better turns up!  Lichen covered twigs, branches of larch with tiny cones, seed heads, twisted heather stems, anything and everything that has form and beauty.
