They've landed,no don't rush out to lock up your plants or anything or anyone precious to you,these two are part of the Scarecrow Festival taking place at the National Wildflower Centre on the 9th-10th July,all the scarecrows are made by children from schools,guides,etc,well worth seeing
I've seen elephants fly,pigs fly, Everton and Liverpool both win league titles,even saw England win the World Cup but this is the PLANT equivalent a sunflower growing out of the wall,fantastic but that's just my opinion.
One of the earliest ever Alliums,known to me as Babingtons Leek,the picture shows the seed head forming,the plant in this photo being just under 6 feet in height.It was introduced into Britain by prehistoric people and has been found growing in places where monasteries used to be.
One off my favourite plants is Feverfew but apparantly it is disliked by bees because it has a strong and bitter smell,but it great to chew if you can stand the bitterness as a relief for headaches,feverfew limits the inflammation of blood vessels in the head ( a careful watch will be kept to see if bees do go on the flowers,or maybe they don't suffer from headaches)
