oregano that self seeds, its very pretty.....in the cold frames amongst other weeds(and I found a few plant pots in there when I had a look, I wondered where they had gone!)
loverly for attracting bees!
beautiful little creatures.
I'm not sure what this is, not a bee anyway.
and here is a lovely calabrese head, just ready for eating. there were four of them so eat two over a couple of days and chopped up the other two ready for use and have frozen them.

Fantastic photos. I love the bee being busy. I can almost taste the delicious calabrese!!
your beautiful closeups make me very jealous of your macro lens.... one day, perhaps. truly loverly! there's a moth here whose wings are transparent and move as fast as a butterfly's who has a snoot like that other fellow.... perhaps a relative?
Helen, the calabrese has been steamed, smothered in butter and eaten......five months to grow, five minutes to eat....
GF, the macro lens is a 'requirement' for my camera, as is the ability to zoom in movie. this camera(canon S5 IS) is getting electronic flickers now so I might be looking for another one soon. I think its too often outside in the rain and dust, and gets too much banging about.
Oh! NOW I truly can picture it! (my reply to your comment at my blog...)
calabrese -- not brocolli in Scotland? Looks a bit like mine by the door! Ours is about to flower so about to be picked! The first two heads were fanastic to eat. So excited to have brocolli, er calabrese, that actually looks and tastes like brocolli and not a bouquet of pretty little yellow flowers this year!
Wildside, I loved your flowering herbs so had to go and photograph my matching ones. there is calabrese and there is broccoli and they are slightly different I think: my brocolli will not be ready for ages its 'purple sprouting broccoli' and has little heads rather than one big one. I would call them both broccoli but thats what it says on the seed packets. I don't mind if they run to flower a bit you can still steam and eat them, maybe not for posh guests though!
Er, or a hubby with posh taste buds?!? LOL Thanks, Claire.
