    Perhaps they've keeled over through lack of sun. :scratch:

    So if the sun is in hibernation we've only got eleven months before it puts some effort back into shining then. :)

      Interesting to hear the Hogweeds are past their best down your way, I'd say they're just about reaching their peak up here right now. Same goes for the Hemlocks, plenty of those about this year too.
      Wild flowers in general are putting on their best show for years up here, Common Mallow and Yarrow are both in flower right now and putting on masses of flower.
      Haven't seen a Giant Hogweed for a few years now, it does appear occasionally in these parts, but not seen any lately.

      I've still got it Shiney, right through the weekend as well. I'll share it with you, if you like. :biggrin:

        South West comes on a bit earlier than Suffolk I guess. Seen a few Giant Hogs in the past few years, just trying to remember where:old: So I can go back & see if they have come back & get a pic.

        Lots of Mallows out here & Ox ear daisees.

          He also answers to Sol and Mythra that I know of. Or would do if he wasn't just a raging ball of nuclear fusion.
