  1. Even on a grey and dull December's day, the garden looks beautiful. The grasses and dogwoods glow with autumnal or, rather, wintry colour and the seedheads provide texture.
    We leave the old growth until next spring. It is so important for the wildlife. Birds and small mammals still find food from the seeds and berries. Insects overwinter in leaves and seedheads. The old growth also provides shelter for other small creatures over the winter.
    Besides, if we cut down everything now, the garden would be bare, unsightly and boring for the next several months.

  2. I love Hollyhocks! They are beautiful, tall, robust, unruly, bawdy and keep going all summer. Bees and other insects love them and behave as if they were shopping for recreational drugs.
    This plant lives in an area in the garden called the Garden of Delights.

  3. Comfrey in the stumpery. Sourced from a drift of self-sown comfrey elsewhere in the garden.
    The bees love it but they were camera shy. I overheard them talking: “Oh. it’s him again with this thing that goes click. Looks like a giant eye. Very suspicious. Better wait and come back when he’s gone”, they said.

  4. I know I have posted about #snowdrops, #Galanthus, before. I am so pleased with them. They keep increasing - through the season and year on year.
    This group at the entrance to the #stumpery. I also have them in other borders and the #GrassMeadow.
    As they flower so early, snowdrops do not rely on #pollinators but spread by bulb division. They are still visited by bees and other early insects on a warm day.
