  1. Common Drone Fly (Eristalis tenax) on Daffodil Garlic (Allium neapolitanum). This is in the south facing bed by the track at the front of the house, backed by a 3m high wall.

  2. Scarlet Hawthorn (Crataegus ellwangeriana) in blossom. Apple-ish haws, both are members of the rose family.

  3. Mashua (Tropaleum tuberosum) growing on the compost heap *in December*. Frost sensitive leaves, related to Nasturtium. Edible tubers but haven't figured out how to make them acceptably edible in the kitchen! Beautiful flowers and foliage.
