[not my usual ‘sort of thing’ to post - as broad as that is - but I found this fascinating; it reminds me, in a sense, of the Incas incrementally selecting corn stock that can handle higher and higher altitudes, in ‘research stations’, although those were a domesticated crop]

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.

Seriously, this edible onion has been an absolute star in the garden, a mass of star shaped white flowers in late summer

I'm looking after a client's Welsh Onions (Allium fistulosum). They are neither Welsh nor onions, being more like chives. In the same way Chinese Cedar (Toons sinensis) is neither Chinese nor a cedar.

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

The Navelwort (Umbilicis rupestris) is starting to flower!

Snowbell Tree (Halesia carolina). Where do they get these names from? Fruit tastes cucumberyish

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.
